European EMS Championship

Let the Games Begin!

During EMS2022, you will we be able to challenge yourself and your team of EMS colleagues in the European EMS Championship.

The European EMS Championship is a fun, challenging and educational experience for emergency medical personnel. The competition is all about team work, skills, experience and the ability to find a solution when challenged. The competition will be scenario-based events that test each team’s ability to manage patients in various circumstances with common critical medical conditions and trauma.

All teams will compete in two preliminary rounds. The 3 teams with the highest scores from the preliminary rounds will compete in the finals at a spectacular full-scale scenario in the plenary hall.

See the competition plan here: EMS Championship 2022 Competition Plan.

Who can participate?

Prehospital healthcare professionals from around the world can sign up for the European EMS Championship. All teams must include a team leader plus two additional team members. All team members must be registered doctors, paramedics, EMTs, nurses or allied health care professionals. As professional EMS providers please consider a backup option for your team members.

The championship language is English, meaning all communication must be done in English – both when it comes to communication between team leader and instructor as well as internal communication between team members. This enables the judges to complete a fair assessment and make the competition more relevant for spectators.

Registration for EMS2022 in Scotland and participation in the EMS2022 Dinner Party is mandatory for participating teams. There are no additional costs for entry into the competition.

What should you bring?

All team members are required to wear uniforms during the competition and at the award ceremony. The award ceremony will be held during the EMS2022 Dinner Party on 5 May 2022.

EMS2022 will provide additional equipment including monitor/defibrillator for all teams to use throughout the competition. A list with the exact equipment will be provided for all teams.

What will the scenarios be like?

During the preliminary round the teams will compete in two simulated scenarios, both of these will be within the area of what prehospital healthcare professionals can encounter in a real life scenario. An experienced simulation instructor will present the clinical setting and conduct the scenario. Each scenario will be assessed by judges who will assess the medical as well as the teamwork performance based on standardized assessment forms.

The final round will be a full scale simulated scenario with more complex challenges in the plenary hall.
