We are happy to announce that Emergo Train System now have initiated a partnership with the International Committee of the Red Cross!

The Emergency hospitals in the Stockholm region have used ETS for several years. On January 21-23, the ETS Competence center conducted an ETS Senior instructor course at Södersjukhuset (one of the largest hospitalts in Stockholm). The participants came from all the emergency hospitals in the Stockholm region. There are now 12 new Senior instructors in the Stockholm region who can set up exercises with ETS!
