IOD's - INJURY ON DUTY

This is a core focus area as companies strive to offer their employees an A to Z service that takes care of any emergency/injury that may occur whilst on duty.

We have procedural operational plans in place with all Hospitals regarding:

• Priority emergencies
• Correct document procedures
• Follow up examinations
• Facilitating of drug testing

We are directly involved with Workman's Compensation to ensure that all claims are dealt with timeously.

We offer First Aid training to businesses and supply First Aid kits to enable companies to comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Act.

RAF (Road Accident Fund)

This is a vital service that assists individuals who are exposed to the horrors of vehicle accidents on our roads.

Medical Stand-By's

An integral part of our overall service is dedicated to event ‘stand-bys’, these are divided into the following categories;

1) Sport Stand-Bys
These events vary from small club road races to Iron Man Competitions and World Cup Soccer.

We have done duty at the following high profile events:

• 2003 Cricket World Cup at St Georges.
• International SpecSavers Iron Man competition
• International Billabong Pro – Jeffreys Bay.
• All events at the new Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium (includes SA vs New Zealand test) &
• Many national cycle and road running events

2) Cultural Events
These include corporate events, conferences, stage theatre events and large musical concerts.

3) Major Construction/Building Stand-Bys
These include the building of the Coega Harbour, construction of stages for events, the pouring of concrete on building sites and the loading and construction of oil rig pipes etc.

Training We Offer:

• First Aid Level 1
• First Aid Level 2 & 3
• SHE Representative
• Fire Awareness Training
• CPR Training

Trauma Counselling

Gardmed has realised the need for us to be a more holistic emergency service. By moving beyond the notion that we simply transport patients, we have felt the need to broaden our offering to patients and their families to include aspects like trauma support and counselling. Gardmed has now partnered with a local therapist to give patients and their families support and trauma counselling. Our trained counsellor has dealt with countless individuals who have faced highly traumatic, life threatening events, from shark attack victims to gun-in-the-face robbery and assault, to those who have experienced motor accidents and those who have gone through the pain of losing friends and family members.

Please note this is a private service and is not affiliated with your medical aid.

Medical Aids

Gardmed Ambulance Service is contracted to ALL Medical Aids and IOD’s.
