00:09Pro Paramedics started in 1999 by my uncle John who was a paramedic.
00:15Back then we were based in what was the Odyssey Arena and we started just purely as event
00:19medical cover.
00:21We started with two ambulances and have now grown to 130 staff with over 20 ambulances.
00:28At Pro Paramedics we offer services such as event medical cover, we do private transfers
00:34of patients as well as transfers of patients for the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service.
00:39We also do critical care services such as working in the GP out of hours, patient repatriations
00:45and we do a whole body and range of first aid medical training.
