Inaugural Joint SCDF-CRTS Exercise Road Runner


​​​​​​On 3 July 2023, we participated in a ground-breaking simulation exercise to enhance our effectiveness and collaboration with rescue personnel during road traffic accidents. The exercise saw TTSH Medical Support Team (MST) attending to two mock patients, each with varying severity of injuries. As the patients were being extricated from the crushed vehicles by firefighters, TTSH MST together with the paramedics delivered immediate medical intervention before being transferring them to the trauma centre. 

The exercise proved to be timely as within the next few days, TTSH MST was again deployed to a traumatic road accident along Lornie Road. The exemplary teamwork between the MST and SCDF resulted in the safe and successful extrication of the victim.
