This evening our Cadets from Order of Malta Ireland - Ambulance Corps - Kilkenny Unit took an exciting trip to the Kilkenny Ambulance Base.

Our cadets got an insight into the day to day work of the National Ambulance Service (NAS) and what it might be like to become a paramedic in the near future for our Cadets up and coming. The Cadets got a look at some of the different equipment that’s used on their Emergency Ambulances and how they treat patients in the back also. 🩺

A big thank you to paramedics Richie and Maurice for their time and great explanation to our Cadets. 🚑
