RAV Ambulances
Paramedics and emergency medical dispatchers must master a wide range of clinical subjects, from traumatology to pediatrics to obstetrics, and keep that knowledge reliable over time. When two regional services merged, RAV turned to Drillster to align working methods, harmonize protocols, and give every team member a consistent, accessible way to stay competent in a role where knowledge can make a critical difference.

The challenge
The profession of a paramedic, and that of an emergency medical dispatcher, demands a broad and constantly updated body of knowledge. Traumatology, pediatrics, obstetrics: these are just a few of the clinical domains a crew member must be able to draw on, often under time pressure and in unpredictable conditions. A one-off training session cannot sustain that. Knowledge acquired in a classroom begins to fade, and busy operational schedules leave little time to stop and refresh it.
For RAV, this challenge intensified when two regional ambulance services, covering the areas of Gooi- en Vechtstreek and Flevoland, merged into a single organization. Both teams had operated under different protocols and working methods. Bringing them together meant more than logistics: it meant ensuring every dispatcher and paramedic across both regions would work from exactly the same foundation.
How Drillster supported the merger
When the merger took effect, RAV turned to Drillster to align the two teams. The harmonized protocols, carefully matched and agreed upon, were built into Drills that emergency medical dispatchers from both Flevoland and Gooi- en Vechtstreek could complete. The result was a clear-cut working process.
