Development of Clinical Protocols

Development of Clinical Protocols for National EMS

Paramedics are the extended arms of doctors from the hospitals. Critical interventions are carried out by SCDF paramedics according to the medical protocols. The Unit for Pre-Hospital Emergency Care (UPEC) supports SCDF in various phases of clinical protocol development:

Advising the Protocol Sub-Committee in reviewing current protocols and proposing new ones based on the latest medical evidence, guidelines, and best practices.
Initiating and supporting SCDF in the implementation of new protocols and clinical skills through trials, training and research.
