Emergency Medical Care and Rescue Handbook

Paramedics are responsible for providing pre-hospital advanced life support and rescue services to critically ill or injured patients. This involves gaining access to the patient, providing emergency medical care in the field, and transporting them to an appropriate medical facility. Paramedics also care for patients being transported between different medical facilities.

The Department of Emergency Medical Care and Rescue has both an international and a national reputation in the field of emergency medical care and rescue education. We offer National Diploma, Bachelor's Degee and Masters which is currently the highest qualification that can be obtained in pre-hospital emergency care and rescue in the country. Graduates of these qualifications may be registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa.
