The Virginia EMS Scholarship Program will officially launch on October 17, 2018 at 12:01 AM.

Dear Healthcare Community,
After a comprehensive search, we have found a new Executive Director to lead the Tidewater Emergency Medical Services (TEMS) Council Inc. I am happy to announce that we have chosen David Long to lead our organization through the remainder of 2018 and going forward.
The pharmacies of the TEMS region have STOPPED opening Red (Drug) Boxes to confirm the inventory with the providers at the window. This is an effort to standardize the box exchange across the system and to reduce the turnaround time for the field providers.
Each time the box is opened has to be re-checked and documentation of the medication has to be made in a log book and has to have a pharmacist to re-check and document before reclosing.
By removing this step in the process will allow for faster turnaround times for the crews that need to exchange out med boxes.
Isle of Wight Vol. Rescue Squad held their first class for "Tactical Emergency Casualty Care" at their training facility on August 11, 2018. IWVRS was recognized as a TECC training location early July by the Committee-TECC.
This class brought area EMS / Fire personnel and Law Enforcement together to learn how to deal with situations in which they are responding to hostile situations with casualties.
