Dear Sisters and Brothers:

CACO will be conducting a Town Hall conference call regarding Ebola Directives and Preparation.

When:                   Monday, December 8th, 2014

Time:                   1800 hrs to approximately 1845 hrs. 

                           (6 p.m. to approximately 6:45 p.m.)

Call in number:   1.877.519.6647

Inbound Listener: 122762#

In advance of the conference call, we request that either the assigned CUPE Rep, or the EMS Local forward an e-mail to my attention outlining the following:

  1.    What level of preparation has your Paramedic Service done for Ebola?

  2.    What level of training has been provided to the staff for Ebola?

  3.    What was the delivery model for this training? Was it training as part of CME, or was it presented

       as”in house training”?

  4.    Has the service provided upgraded PPE?

  5.    Has your service developed procedures/protocols with dispatch?

  6.    Has your service developed a protocol for transfers?

  7.    Has your service developed a protocol for inter facility transport?

  8.    Has a receiving hospital been designated? Has this information been circulated?

  9.    Does your service have a designated ambulance for transporting possible Ebola patients?

Any insights are greatly appreciated.
