The original slogan of ‘empowering people to save lives since 1986’ has been replaced by ‘Saving Lives Made Simple’, which we believe better captures the philosophy of Emcare and its instructors. We believe that making the training as simple as possible means that when skills are required, there is less to remember for individuals that do not resuscitate routinely and need skills beyond traditional First Aid courses.
The Emcare team are all experienced health care professionals who practice clinically what they teach. We are passionate about what we do - saving lives through quality education and clinical practice. We think that’s not a bad way to spend our day! We only employ professional health care staff (Doctors, Nurses, Ambulance Officers, Paramedics and Intensive Care Paramedics) all of whom are experts in their field and have up to date, hands on clinical experience.
