CSPs also assist in coordinating urgent transfers across the healthcare system, matching scope to patient needs, transport team configuration & other considerations. As a part of the 911 call process, CSPs connect with patients & families to support the response of EHS resources.
Welcome to the newest clinical support paramedics at the EHS Medical Communications Centre (MCC). CSPs are part of the MCC Clinical Team, along with a physician and registered nurse. They prioritize patient & paramedic safety with real time support by phone or radio.

Press conference: two members treated yesterday for heat stress. Tended to by EHS, didn't require hospitalization. Given conditions yesterday, only two is probably a good outcome.
Update on this, members have now been informed that sufficient personnel have come in and no further recall members are required right now. Several additional units have been upstaffed
