The volunteers at the sub centre would like to say an extremely big thank you to Alcoa P.EA.C.H. who kindly donated the funds to buy four new adult CPR manikins, 2 junior CPR manikins and a complete computer system for our hard working Secretary, Carol. Without organisations such as P.E.A.C.H. we would not be able to provide the training tools for the Senior First Aid Courses or vital equipment for our ambulances. So once again a very big THANK YOU from Carol, the trainers and the future attendees of the Senior First Aid classes.
General
On behalf of all the Ambulance Volunteers at Waroona, I'd like to wish all the Mum's a very Happy Mother's Day. Please everyone drive safely and ensure your Mum has a relaxing and love filled day.
I have decided to include some statistics this month that incorporate the period from 1 April 2010 to 1 April 2011. These statistics show just how hard working our volunteers are.
The following are transport statistics and as you can see our volunteers put in a lot of kilometres in a 12 month period:
WORKLOAD | |||
Category | # Cases | Average Km | Total Km |
TRAUMA | 33 | 84.70 | 2795 |
MEDICAL | 81 | 78.23 | 6337 |
CARDIAC | 19 | 81.16 | 1542 |
OTHER | 7 | 7.57 | 53 |
| 140 | 76.62 | 10727 |
The following statistics are number of cases transported to various hospitals. As you can see from this, our ambulances are utilised in other areas as well as the Shire of Waroona.
