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 approved by the Medical Advisory Committee (MAC) of the SCDF. The MAC is a committee formed by specialists from various medical disciplines seconded from the Ministry of Health (MOH).
Doctors from the Unit for Pre-Hospital Emergency Care (UPEC) are represented in the MAC. They are also involved in the Protocol Sub-Committee to review current protocols and propose new ones based on the latest medical evidence, guidelines, and practices.
