This is EMS: Caring for our Children

In honor of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week, “This is EMS: Taking Care of Our Children,” a free webinar about prehospital pediatric readiness, took place on Thursday, May 20, at 2 pm ET. The webinar provided an overview of both the Pediatric Readiness in Emergency Medical Services Systems Policy Statement and Technical Report; reviewed the new Toolkit and Checklist; provided testimonials focusing on why it’s important for EMS agencies to be pediatric prepared; and highlighted the Prehospital Pediatric Readiness Project. The event was a collaboration of the Emergency Medical Services for Children Program and the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP).
