The Antigua and Barbuda Emergency Medical Services (ABEMS) is pleased to announce that two members of its team, Supervisor Akelia Carr and Paramedic Mauli George, will be representing the department at EMS World 2026 in Orlando, Florida, from September 29 to October 5, 2026.
EMS World is an annual international conference held in North America, bringing together emergency medical services professionals, healthcare practitioners, educators, and industry experts to share knowledge, explore advancements in emergency medical care, and participate in professional development and training opportunities.
The participation of Supervisor Carr and Paramedic George reflects ABEMS’ continued commitment to professional development, continuous learning, and the delivery of high-quality emergency medical care to the people of Antigua and Barbuda.
Attending EMS World each year provides valuable opportunities for EMS personnel to acquire new knowledge, strengthen their technical and clinical skills, and gain exposure to the latest developments, technologies, and best practices in emergency medical services. These experiences are essential in ensuring that ABEMS remains informed of evolving standards and innovations within the EMS profession.
Upon their return, Supervisor Carr and Paramedic George are expected to share the knowledge, skills, and updated information gained during the conference with their colleagues. This knowledge-sharing initiative will contribute to strengthening the department’s operational capacity, enhancing service delivery, and further improving the quality of emergency medical care provided to residents and visitors of Antigua and Barbuda.
Director of ABEMS, Shawn Greenidge, reaffirmed the department’s commitment to investing in its personnel through continued education and professional development. The knowledge and experience gained through international conferences and training opportunities are valuable assets that can be applied to strengthen the department and support its ongoing mission.
ABEMS extends best wishes to Supervisor Akelia Carr and Paramedic Mauli George as they represent Antigua and Barbuda on this international platform. The department looks forward to the valuable contributions they will make upon their return.
