Why it matters

A four-tonne ambulance cannot reach the far side of the course

Golf clubs and large venues have invested in CPR training and defibrillators. The missing piece has always been what happens next: getting paramedics to a patient hundreds of metres from the nearest road, across fairways, rough and bridges, and getting the patient back to the ambulance, quickly and safely.

Link 01

Early CPR

Staff, members and volunteers trained to start CPR in the first minutes.

Link 02

Fast defibrillation

Defibrillators placed around the clubhouse, course and venue.

Link 03

Paramedic access and transport

The Medical Response Vehicle gets responders to the patient fast, lets treatment begin immediately and keeps CPR going while the patient is moved to the ambulance.

Designed by a paramedic

Built for the realities of frontline patient care

Every detail was shaped by paramedic Michael Covey, General Manager of Shield Medical Training, to solve real problems on real sites. The patient deck loads from almost any angle without back strain. The spine board lives under the canopy, ready to deploy. An attendant seat keeps the responder beside the patient, maintaining eye contact and communication, so monitoring and CPR can continue on the move.

Cardiac arrest was only part of the brief. Heat stroke, snake bite, falls, allergic reactions and trauma injuries are all realities for anyone running a large outdoor site.

"This really is the final piece of the puzzle in managing cardiac arrests on a golf course."

Michael Covey, intensive care paramedic and General Manager, Shield Medical Training

Born from real need

An Australian answer to a problem every large site shares

After a tragic on-course medical incident at Cromer Golf Club, General Manager Melissa Ellis began a conversation with paramedic Michael Covey of Shield Medical Training. InGolf & Utility and Global Golf Cart Design then led twelve months of research and development in collaboration with Shield Medical Training, designing, building and testing the vehicle here in Australia for Cromer Golf Club, the first club to purchase it. It was in use within days of arriving, and it has been out on the course almost weekly since.
