It would seem Sandpit Medic has made up his mind to ignore the warnings. In light of this I can say only; Bring your Pollyanna self on over here and find out for yourself. What you will find is a bunch of folks who split into two groups. The young/single folks who are squandering their money to...

No, they don't require CCT, CCP, or FP-C, even on their HEMS unit, although so far they've only used Brits on HEMS. Seriously, other than CHSi, NAC should be your last choice in the ME.

While working at NAC would be a tremendous improvement for Medics working for the London Ambulance Service or the other urban UK ambulance trusts, most others would find the job untenable. IF you are to work in the Middle East, Abu Dhabi is without a doubt the best city in which to live. The...

You can probably forget about Kuwait. The DOD contractor there is ITT and they are in the process of replacing all of the American EMT's with "EMT equivalents" from the Filipines. EMS for the US Army bases there is sub-contracted to George Washington Univerity, You can check the web site to see...

I accepted the job offer from NAC today. Two years in AD is a long time but probably not nearly as long as one year in Kuwait was. We talked it over, my family will stay in Colorado so I guess it's time to re-activate my Skype account. So shulz, are you boys going to run my butt off? Perhaps...

Nac It really wasn't an interview, just a scenario test which was pretty forthright. Chris, the supervisor who gave the test, said he wasn't sure if I'd be called for an interview or if they'd just send me an offer once all my paperwork was in. (Rural/Metro keeps promising to send my employment...

National Ambulance (UAE) I don't have enough "wasta" yet to post IM's here so.... Last Wednesday I did a Webex session and tested for NAC, I haven't heard back yet but possibly we will be co-workers soon. Keep posting, I've had replies from a few NAC employees that were pretty helpful.

Colorado... for now. Ex U.S. Coast Guard, I've been a Medic since 1982, currently working in Colorado for...... a large private ambulance company that has a "blogging policy" for which I've already been written up and suspended so I won't mention their name. I spent a year as a contract...

National Ambulance Schulz; Thanks for the quick reply and for the clarification. I was on a contract in Kuwait where we frequently worked 6 days on and ONE day off at remote military posts so 7/7 is not on the face of it a problem. Thanks for the email address, I'll be emailing them...

Abu Dhabi EMS I'm having difficulty gleaning who exactly runs EMS (911/111/112) in Abu Dhabi. Is it the Police or National Ambulance Company? Or are they one and the same? I have an interview with National Ambulance in a few days, anybody have any questions they want me to ask?
