HCRI is launching a project in collaboration with Hong Kong Academy of Medicine based around the World Health Organisation (WHO) Emergency Medical Teams (EMTs) Initiative. The collaboration will accelerate the development of an international accreditation and certification process of disaster response training based on WHO standards with a focus on China and Asia.

Professor Tony Redmond OBE

Professor Tony Redmond OBE, HCRI Deputy Director, will lead the collaboration. He also leads UK-Med, an NGO based at HCRI that hosts the UK International Emergency Trauma Register (UKIETR) and UK International Emergency Medical Register (UKIEMR), and recruits and trains health care workers to deploy to sudden onset disasters overseas. Professor Redmond has a track record working in China, and delivered EMT training there in September.
