The first International Paramedics Day on Friday 8 July was a great success, and the College thanks the many paramedics, services and organisations who contributed photos and videos that showcased the amazing and diverse work they are doing to serve their communities.
Since we launched the campaign, we've received submissions from across the Australasia region and from as far afield as Mexico and Iran. We have compiled the videos and photos into two videos for you to share:
You can also view all the pics and videos on the International Paramedics Day Australasia website.
We would like to thank all our partners and supporters who have helped to make the day such a success: The Council of Ambulance Authorities, Te Kaunihera Manapou Paramedic Council, Australia’s state ambulance services, St John NZ and Papua New Guinea, Wellington Free Ambulance, the Australasian Council of Paramedicine Deans, International SOS, Global Medical Projects, and Parabellum International.
We look forward to making International Paramedics Day 2023 even bigger and better, and to continuing to draw attention to the many dimensions of our profession and the range of work our paramedics are undertaking.
