This marks the third cohort of graduates from the rigorous 10-month course, a key component of the ongoing effort to bolster emergency medical services across the British Virgin Islands.

Sapphire Flax-Clarke of Virgin Gorda was honoured as the Most Outstanding Student.

The EMT Programme is part of a wider strategy by the Ministry of Health and Social Development to enhance emergency response capabilities in the territory, including on the main island of Tortola and its sister islands. Earlier this year, in March, the BVIHSA expanded its fleet of ambulances, including a new vehicle assigned to Virgin Gorda, generously donated by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (YCCS). This expansion is a critical component of the Ministry’s strategy to improve emergency care by providing prompt, high-quality medical response in all communities.

Currently, Virgin Gorda benefits from a dedicated paramedic and EMT, both trained to handle a wide range of emergencies. The Ministry’s commitment to expanding its emergency medical services includes plans to launch an Advanced EMT course, which will equip practitioners with the skills necessary to perform more complex medical interventions. This advancement is expected to improve patient outcomes significantly, reduce mortality rates, and strengthen public health infrastructure across the territory.

“The Ministry is steadfast in its dedication to ensuring that every resident and visitor receives the highest standard of emergency care,” a spokesperson stated. “The EMT Programme and the addition of advanced training reflect our commitment to saving lives and improving health outcomes throughout the Virgin Islands.”

The latest cohort’s graduation symbolises a significant step forward in fulfilling the Ministry’s mandate to provide high-quality emergency medical services to all parts of the territory.
