Guest guest Posted February 13, 2002 Report Share Posted February 13, 2002 From what little I know about this there was a requirement that the medics be trained up to Expert Field medic or Combat Lifesaver levels and there is somewhere on the web a page that covers the training lessons in modules for download. I think it was under humanitarian demining or something like that.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2002 Report Share Posted February 13, 2002 Hi Ian, I am a Supporter of The Mines Advisory Group (MAG) which has it's Head Office in Manchester. As far as I'm aware MAG has a UK Medical Officer (Ex Army) but the Groups policy is to train Nationals as Medics and Mine clearers so that when MAG pulls out of an area there are still trained people there to do the work. I don't think the Medics do clearance themselves but may have other additional duties. MAGs website is at: http://www.mag.org.uk Cheers, Ged Mine Clearance Ops Hi All, I know there are a couple of guys on the list who have been involved with mine clearance in the past. I have a friend of mine (ex army) who is interested in that particular line of work so out of curiosity can any one advise me on the standard or quals of the medics that work with these teams have? or for that matter are the medics part of the teams, i.e actually do the mine clearance as well? If there are any webstite that would also be useful for him again please let me know, Many thanks Ian Owner __________________________________________ Ian Sharpe International SOS Paramedic AGIP Kco Marine Supply Base Bautino, Republic of Kazakhstan Tel: +31 70 313 3655 / 3690 (Clinic/ Accommodation) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personal Mail to Ian@...

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 Greetings, I did a bit of relief work for a company called BACTEC from Rochester, Kent in Kosovo a couple of years ago, apart from myself all the other medics were ex RAMC. The duties were as medic and in some cases as radio base there was no actual mine clearance done by the medics.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 Hi Ian, With reference to the above, to my knowledge, only mine clearance personnel are allowed to clear an area of ordnance. Normally the team is lead by a European mine clearance officer with the native members of the team doing the spade work, unless something special comes up and then its up to the head of the team if he wants to sympathetic detonate or check out the firing mechanism in detail. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 Point taken Rod, but let us hope if they do get injured, god forbid, the medic has a little bit more kit than that. i don't actually know what kit they do have but the website I saw had a medic training course up to equivalent of a Combat Lifesaver which is about CMT Recruit level I would have thought Does anyone know what kit demining medics do have?

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 , I think Uncle Rod was being sarkey. What he meant to say was a decent foot suction unit with high capacity jar and a black bag. The shovel would just be a comical extra. Failing that a length of hose, a bucket and a good set of lungs to get the suction going.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 yeah I know, when my father was in Jugoslavia in ww2 the pigs did the work for them and that is the perfect hygienic mobile vacuum cleaner, there was not much left of people who stood on schu mines or teller mines, and it has got dirtier since then. A sense of humour especially a black one, sarcasm, in medicine seems to be a qualification they don't put on the application forms, but it sure reduces the stress. Take care all.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2002 Report Share Posted February 16, 2002 I have found a U.N. Medic Trauma kit list for medics with deminers, perhaps the experts among you can work out some of the skill levels required to use it. It seems a very basic kit to me and kit which is very familiar to all on the list. McGill forceps. Stethoscope Airway kit:- Stylet, Endotracheal tube, Mask(pocket mask), 10cc(ml) syringe, Bag Valve Mask, Oropharyngeal airway (J tube). Laryng set:- Laryngoscope body and light, Black cap end, blades.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2002 Report Share Posted February 16, 2002 Hi Ian Sorry to come in a bit late on this string – pressures of work, etc, etc. The UN publishes a set of standards which includes the spec for the different grades of medic. The UN interpretation of the role of the “Paramedic” in the humanitarian demining theatre is; “Trained to provide ALS to casualties, to undertake CASEVAC planning, to supervise training, administer basic health care and assist the Medical Officer in his duties”. Other roles include training as all operatives must have first aid training as a part of their general demining training. The document required is “International Standards for Humanitarian Mine Clearance Operations”. It is obtainable from; Mine Clearance Policy Unit, DHA, United Nations, New York, NY 10017, USA. I have an email address for the department; HYPERLINK " mailto:cassidy@... " cassidy@..., but I’m not sure if this is still valid. A couple of good places to contact - Hendrik Ehlers (HYPERLINK " mailto:ehlers@... " ehlers@...), Hendrik heads up one of the largest European based humanitarian operations. His organization also has some very impressive SOP’s and COP’s with reference to personnel requirements for mine clearance ops. Norwegian Peoples Aid is another group active in various locations. The Kosovo Programme Manager can be contacted via HYPERLINK " mailto:mines@... " mines@... . I can’t lay hands on it at the moment, but a Dr working for NPA in Angola wrote a pretty good idiots guide to the initial care of mine casualties – it’s almost a DIY book! Another guy to contact is Tim Cranton, if he is still alive!!. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 That was the only bit of it I could find on the net previously and written from notes taken about 12 months ago. I thought it was rather basic myself but then I don't know the various levels of medic the UN uses, the only thing I could find was based on the education for a US Army Combat Lifesaver who it seems does exactly as you state cover it, stuff it, stabilise and get the casualty to a higher echelon of care. Why the site used the CLS or EFMB as a basis for medical care I don't know apart from the fact it appears to be a recognised military medic level by the US in relation to ex US military medics getting involved in demining. I know for a fact that the medics from other backgrounds including special forces or ex SOF medics involved in this field have a much higher level of kit and training up to and above Paramedic, which is what you would expect for medics assigned to support such technically expert and gallant people as deminers. Thanks for the response it is always an education corresponding with you, I hope all this is some value to the original questioner. Watch how you go.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 You are very welcome, however, Daryl has further information which states that the kit is much larger so don't take it as gospel, I got it off a site over 12 months ago.
