In the most recent article of Circulation, an American Heart Association (AHA) journal, Bhanji et al discuss how best to educate healthcare professionals on the new 2015 American Heart Association Guidelines Update for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. The article contains a whole section dedicated to teamwork and leadership, skills the AHA consider critical to successful management of a cardiac arrest "...team based skills are different from clinical skills, [therefore] specific team and leadership training may have a role in the effective performance of resuscitation teams and patient outcomes after cardiac arrest."

On July 28th, 2016 the RPPEO migrated to a new telephone system for efficiency. Going forward there will only be one number to call to reach the RPPEO in either Ottawa or Kingston.

When calling the RPPEO, either in Ottawa or Kingston, all you need to do is call 613-737-7228 or 1-877-587-7736. The RPPEO Kingston office will have their main number retired. All staff’s direct lines have also been discontinued. Outside callers will need to call the main line first before being transferred to an RPPEO staff's desk telephone. Our options menu will be expanded to list new options.

Congratulations to Dr. Mike Austin, Associate Medical Director, Research at the RPPEO, on his recent Clinical Investigator appointment in the Clinical Epidemiology Program of OHRI.  A former medic in Australia himself, Mike is a strong proponent of paramedic research and developing paramedic researchers.

Congratulations to our Director Penny Price voted by EMS1.com as the 10th most influential woman in EMS internationally.

Thanks to BoringEM team, they have created a reference guide of the top five changes to the 2015 AHA guidlines. Read more about it at Canadiem.org
