Tasmania is a small state with long drives! 🚑

A patient in Smithton with an appointment in Hobart faces a five-hour trip each way. That's not a favour you ask a family member to do in a sedan.

ProMED Tasmania runs non-emergency transports statewide — North West, North, East Coast and South — including:
🔹 Regional to major hospital transfers
🔹 Long-distance specialist appointments
🔹 Inter-facility transfers between aged care and health services
🔹 Return trips, so the patient isn't stranded at the other end

Our crews are with the patient the whole way: monitored, comfortable, with breaks and care planned into the trip rather than improvised!

November starts on Sunday, and Tasmanian summer brings a very specific injury list. Is your kit ready for it? ☀️

WHAT WE RESTOCK MOST FROM NOVEMBER ONWARDS:
🔥 Burns gel and hydrogel dressings — BBQs, campfires, hot surfaces
🐝 Sting relief and ice packs — bees, wasps, jack jumpers
🐍 Broad heavy crepe bandages for pressure immobilisation — snake season is here
🩹 Blister care and strapping tape
🧊 Instant cold packs for heat illness

Workplaces, clubs, campgrounds and event sites: now is the time to top up, not the week of your busiest day.

Order online or call us for a site-specific pack!

Five words on a wall mean nothing if they don't show up on a shift. Our iCARE values are upheld and implemented by our management and crew ⛑

🤝 INTEGRITY — you get an honest crew recommendation, not the one that suits our invoice. Sometimes that's more medics than you budgeted for. Sometimes it's fewer.
📻 COLLABORATION — one team on the day. We plug into emergency services, venue security, event staff and organisers so nobody is working around anybody.
📋 ACCOUNTABILITY — we document every patient, and we review every incident. When we get something wrong, we say so and fix it.
💙 RESPECT — for the patient having a rough day, the crew at the end of a long shift, and the team we hand over to.
🎯 EXCELLENCE — clinical governance, current training and proper equipment. A hi-vis vest isn't a qualification.

Big sites are the hardest events to cover well! 🎪 🎆

A large, spread-out site — a festival ground, a sporting precinct, a multi-stage event — illustrates why event medical is more than putting a first aider in a tent.

WHAT MAKES A BIG SITE DIFFERENT:
📍 TREATMENT POSTS PEOPLE CAN FIND — signposted, marked on the site map, and staffed. A medical post nobody can find is not a medical post.
🚶 ROVING CREWS — because the patient is rarely standing next to the tent
📻 COMMS THAT ACTUALLY WORK — across buildings, crowds and open ground
🚑 ACCESS AND EXTRACTION — a planned route an ambulance can physically use, agreed with event control before gates open
👶 LOST CHILDREN — a process agreed with security and announcements, not improvised
📋 HANDOVER AND RECORDS — every patient documented, every escalation logged

Running a large site event? Trust in ProMED Tasmania to provide your onsite medical and first aid services! We proudly support Tasmania's largest events each year.

Common mix-up worth clearing up: your first aid certificate lasts three years. Your CPR does not. ⏱

CPR should be refreshed every 12 months. Guidelines change, skills fade fast, and compression quality drops off much sooner than people think.

A CPR refresher is short — usually around two hours — and it's the highest-value training most people will ever do.

Because here's the thing: cardiac arrest doesn't happen in a training room. It happens at footy training, in the driveway, at the pub, at Christmas lunch. And the outcome largely depends on whether the nearest person starts compressions in the first couple of minutes.

If it's been more than a year, book the refresher. It's two hours!

Today is World Restart a Heart Day. 💗

Around 90% of people who have a cardiac arrest outside hospital don't survive it. The two things that change that number most are bystander CPR and a defibrillator reaching them fast.

Every minute without defibrillation drops the chance of survival by roughly 10%. An ambulance is rarely arriving inside that window — which is why the defib on the wall matters so much.

Three things you can do today:
1️⃣ Find out where your nearest AED is. Actually find out.
2️⃣ If your workplace, club or hall doesn't have one, start the conversation.
3️⃣ Check the pads and battery on the one you do have.

You cannot hurt someone with an AED. It will not shock a heart that doesn't need it. Open it, follow the voice, keep doing compressions.

We supply AEDs and train people to use them!

When you book event medical cover, you'll see terms like MR, BLS, ALS and HCP on the quote - here's what you're actually getting. ⛑

🔹 MEDICAL RESPONDER — Certificate II in Medical Services First Response. First aid, CPR, defibrillation, patient assessment and safe handover. The backbone of any event team.
🔹 BLS MEDIC — Certificate III level in a relevant healthcare qualification. Basic life support with a broader assessment scope and more autonomy on scene.
🔹 ALS MEDIC — Certificate IV in Health Care or Diploma of Paramedical Science/Nursing. Advanced life support, advanced skills and a wider scope of clinical decision-making.
🔹 HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL — Registered Nurses and Registered Paramedics with current AHPRA registration. The top of our clinical structure.

The right mix depends on your event's risk profile — not on what's cheapest. We'll tell you honestly which levels your event actually needs, and why.

Not sure what your event needs? Ask us, and we'll walk you through it!
