Abstract
“GFS brings Emergency Air Medical Service to Patients”
“We bring Simulation based aeromedical training to GFS”
Hong Kong Government Flying Service are committed to providing the highest standard of search and rescue operations and bringing rapid response medical care to the ill and injured patients. The high reliability team is composed of various expertises and professional. The team uses helicopters and aircrafts to reach the casualties.

How can we train up an effective team of paramedics, nurses and doctors?
During this session, you will see how we bring modern medical education and simulation based-training to the Hong Kong Government Flying Service. The competency establishment is built up by interactive instruction and hands-on practice of various skillsets. With the whole-part-whole learning model, the team is exposed to commonly encountered scenarios via immersive simulation. Coupled with immediate debriefings, it facilitates self-reflection and serves as a powerful tool in adult learning and team training. We will share with you the success of training with reaction and behavior evidence.
All these have positively reinforced our faiths in putting GFS training forward. After all, we value to serve ill and injured patients and we strive for a high performance team.
