SHA announces additional paramedic positions for Regina to battle shortage
Story continues below advertisementThe new paramedic positions in the city will fully staff two additional ambulances and two smaller paramedic response units.
Smaller response units are used to assist primary paramedics on advanced calls or beat the ambulance to the scene to start providing immediate care. “Investing in additional ambulance capacity is not just about adding resources, it’s about improving the quality of life for our paramedics and ensuring the timely delivery of critical care to those in need in our province,” SHA provincial services-community care executive director Rod MacKenzie said.
Saskatchewan is not experiencing a high turnover rate of paramedics from post-secondary schools, so the province said it is focused on retention instead.
