Two new intensive care paramedics stationed at Bundaberg Ambulance Station will assist the RACQ CareFlight rescue helicopter service, Health Minister Lawrence Springborg said today.<\/p>\n

The Bundaberg Ambulance Station will now be staffed 24 hours-a-day by Intensive Care Paramedics rather than on an on-call system.<\/p>\n

Mr Springborg said the two new Flight Intensive Care Paramedics would improve the ambulance service\u2019s ability to respond quickly to accidents and health emergencies in the Wide Bay-Burnett and Fraser Coast regions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIntensive Care Paramedics are highly trained professionals who provide Queenslanders with world-class pre-hospital health care every day.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir role is diverse and includes responding to local emergency cases, supporting and training other paramedics, as well as working with the RACQ CareFlight rescue helicopter.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir work in conjunction with CareFlight is critically important to rural and remote communities throughout the region.”<\/p>\n

CareFlight CEO Ashley van de Velde has welcomed the decision as the region is one of the busiest for the organisation.<\/p>\n

\u201cRACQ CareFlight Rescue flew more than 400 missions in the Wide Bay Burnett last year alone,\u201d Mr van de Velde said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese highly trained individuals are a critical part in the delivery of lifesaving care to the residents in their great times of need. We welcome the decision to increase the vital resource.\u201d<\/p>\n
