Kits

Each RERN member receives a full equipment pack for support when attending calls. These packs include both equipment and the most commonly used emergency drugs with the exception of narcotics.

  • Narcotics are to be collected from the local hospital prior to going out to the call if indicated.
  • RERN packs are distributed from SAAS and remain the property of SAAS.
  • When a doctor leaves the group, the kit is to be returned to SAAS for restocking and redistribution.
