Using Community Paramedicine to advance out-of-hospital care in Saskatchewan

Join us October 24 from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. to learn about how Community Paramedicine is accelerating Saskatchewan’s access to timely, effective care.

Session description

Community Paramedicine is a transformative model of healthcare delivery being used in Saskatchewan. Paramedics are working in roles outside of the traditional 911 response model to deliver proactive, patient-centred care in homes and communities. This innovative approach is improving outcomes, reducing emergency department visits, and strengthening connections in urban, rural, and remote communities.

In this session you’ll explore:

• The scope and benefits of community paramedicine
• How collaborative models improve patient access and system efficiency
• Ways to access community paramedicine services in your community
• Real-world stories and successes from Saskatchewan’s healthcare system

Whether you’re a healthcare provider, policymaker, student, or community member, this session will offer valuable, practical insight into one of the most forward-thinking healthcare models.

Join us to learn, connect, and be inspired!
