Europe is facing major challenges in security, health, and climate, which place increasing demands on emergency medical systems. While European cooperation is advancing in sectors like defence and energy, emergency medicine remains largely nationally or regionally structured. Despite significant differences in funding, staffing and mission profiles, HEMS systems across Europe share many similarities, especially regarding patient population and professional standards. The newly founded European Governance Alliance in HEMS aims to use these commonalities to foster cross-border learning and collaboration, based on the principles of Clinical Governance. Through regular international "Debrief & Discussion" (D&D) meetings and peer learning visits, the Alliance promotes a culture of open reflection, shared learning, and continuous improvement. The long-term goal is to define and implement common governance standards and establish sustainable structures for peer-based quality development. This initiative offers a first concrete step towards structured, international cooperation in European air rescue- with the aim of improving systems, not individuals.
欧洲在安全、健康和气候方面面临重大挑战,这对紧急医疗系统提出了越来越高的要求。虽然欧洲在国防和能源等领域的合作不断推进,但紧急医疗在很大程度上仍以国家或地区为架构。尽管在资金、人员配备和任务概况方面存在显著差异,但欧洲各地的直升机紧急医疗服务(HEMS)系统有许多相似之处,尤其是在患者群体和专业标准方面。新成立的欧洲直升机紧急医疗服务治理联盟旨在基于临床治理原则,利用这些共性促进跨境学习与合作。通过定期举行国际“汇报与讨论”(D&D)会议以及同行学习访问,该联盟倡导开放反思、共同学习和持续改进的文化。长期目标是界定并实施共同的治理标准,建立基于同行的质量发展的可持续架构。这一举措朝着欧洲空中救援领域结构化的国际合作迈出了具体的第一步,目的是改进系统,而非个人。
