Successful paramedics: Waidhofen cheered on top performances!

Waidhofen/Ybbs, Österreich - On November 30, 2024, an important day for the Red Cross in Waidhofen an der Ybbs. Ten civil servants and volunteers have successfully passed their final exam as paramedics. Among the examples were seven civil servants, two committed volunteers and one participant in the voluntary social year. This group of a total of 35 participants from the Rotkreuz district positions Amstetten, Waidhofen and St. Peter/Au was able to master all requirements of the difficult examination and can now proudly bear the title "paramedic", such as MeinDZIRK.AT reported.

examination and training

The training as a paramedic comprises around 124 hours of theory, supplemented by a 160-hour internship on the ambulance. There, the prospective paramedics are intensively prepared for their tasks in the medical service. The training was described by the training manager Ingeborg Garstenauer as varied and personally enriching. "The diverse tasks in the area of rescue and patient transport service are exciting and certainly a personal enrichment," she said proudly. This comprehensive preparation has paid off, since many participants showed excellent performance, such as "https://m.noen.at/ybbstal/ausbildung-zhnt-zehn-neue-rescue-resistant-fuer-rotes-kreuz-waidhofen-er-ybbs-451069332"> noen.at emphasized.

The connection of the graduates remains beyond the training. Around 90 percent of community service providers and FSJ participants continue to work as a volunteer at the Red Cross in Waidhofen after their service and thus show their long-term commitment to the community. This underlines the positive experience and meaningfulness of the use that many have experienced in this organization.
