The Emergencies Medial Service in Calasparra will count on two extra nurses during the winter months to ensure there are always medical staff in attendance.
The extra staffing will begin on December 1 2026 and the service will be maintained until February 28, 2027.
The two extra nurses will alternate shifts to guarantee a second medical professional will be at the centre during the following hours:
Monday to Saturday and non fiesta days 3pm to midnight
Sundays and fiestas 12 midday to 12 midnight.
One of the main advantages of the extra staff will mean, when there is an emergency outside the centre, there will remain a nurse at the centre who can carry out triage and care, look after clients and coordinate the
necessary response with 061.
This measure aims to improve the continuity of medical attention and avoid that, when the team attends an emergency outside the centre, the centre is not left without medical staff.
Moreover, in situations of high demand a second team, complete with a doctor and nurses, will be provided.
Editors Note
Calasparra Town Hall has been petitioning the regional government for years for extra staff at Emergencies to ensure that, when the medical team are attending an emergency outside the centre, the centre is not left without any medical staff at all.
As yet, Calasparra the Town Hall have not commented on this new measure.
