Our Swiss Medical Service (SMS)

I really hope I am not doing them wrong by writting a few words about a specific team within our contingent.
It is a honour to have five people dedicated to our medical support. Two of them are actual doctors who have been registered in England for the Jamboree so they can do what they studied so long. The same applies to our nurse. Two other members supports the Medical Service with their experiences related to security and pharmacy.
Just yesterday the “medical center” which will be available only to members of the Swiss Contingent (for security and insurance reason) has officially opened. It has been operational before, however the apero was made a little bit later on.
Their tremendous work and preparations payed off for sure. They can do nearly everthing…covering small incidents that only involves a plaster and a few caressing words to wounds that may require stitches.
I must admit that I do not know what to say or write to describe what I feel right now. All of our teams worked so hard and so well. Nevertheless the SMS needs to be pointed out.
Their standards are so high that the brits can hardly follow. All members of the Swiss Contingent can be assured that they are covered by a medical service which is very similar to a Swiss hospital.

Please remember, this is all done by volunteers, girl guides and boy scouts!
It is just amazing!
