MedicNEWS started in 2020 as a way to quickly get new practice insight out to all paramedics in the Eastern Ontario region during the COVID-19 pandemic. Morphing to lighter, timely short reads that aim to deliver entertaining and thought-provoking content, RPPEO now puts out a new digital MedicNEWS ten times a year.

MedicNEWS for November 2024

The latest MedicNEWS issue is live, bringing paramedics valuable updates, case studies, and new tools to support practice!
