It takes three

We have three sites and two blogs, 'cause there is only so much you can fit on a website! (Actually four, if you count the government agency I work for, but we won't do that!)

The Backcountry Trail Patrol Association, http://www.trailpatrol.org

The Association's medical training division: http://www.emergicaretraining.org (My part-time employer.)

and then the National Mountain Bike Patrol, kinda like the National Ski Patrol, without skis. http://www.nmbp.org

If you're really interested, you can link to the blogs from the Emergicare website.

South Australian Ambulance Service

Some old stats (from the 2005-06 annual report), but we cover an area of approximately 984,377 square kilometres (380,070 sq miles), with 111 stations, 74 of which are volunteer stations.
In 2005-06 we attended 213,844 cases – an increase of 6% on 2004-05 – of which 163,000 were attended by the Emergency Ambulance Service and 51,000 by SAAS’s Ambulance Transport Service (ATS).

As well as being a Paramedic degree student at Flinders University, I also work full time as a Call Taker in our State Communications Centre.
We answered 379,906 inbound calls in 2005-06 – a 13% increase on the previous year. Of these, 119,130 were triple zero (000*) calls, representing a 9% increase on 2004-05 figures.

We have multiple levels of Ambulance Officer/Paramedics, ranging from our ATS Ambulance Officers and Volunteer Ambulance Officers, through to Paramedic, Intensive Care Paramedic and Rescue Paramedic.

*000 = 911 ;)
