The Auxiliary Medical Service (AMS) held a passing-out parade today (November 3), where the 287 new members were reviewed by the Secretary for Security, Mr Tang Ping-keung.
Speaking at the event, Mr Tang encouraged all graduates to embrace the spirit of the AMS in their key roles as supporters of emergency operations, guardians of public safety during events, and promoters of primary healthcare development, urging them to continue to serve the Hong Kong community wholeheartedly.
As an auxiliary service under the Security Bureau, the AMS consists of members from various backgrounds, industries and age groups. After completing a 132-hour training programme and passing rigorous assessments, members will be deployed to different units to commence their services.
The duties of the AMS include providing first-aid services at major events, manning first-aid posts in country parks on weekends and public holidays, and providing first-aid bicycle services on cycle tracks. To align with the Government's primary healthcare development strategy, the AMS will expand its non-emergency ambulance services to provide special medical care to the public in need.
Recruitment details and application forms are available on the AMS website (www.ams.gov.hk/en/join_us.html).
