Oxford County Paramedic Services is introducing changes to how 911 medical calls are prioritized. Residents are encouraged to review the County’s information to learn what to expect when calling 911 for a medical emergency.

Learn more: www.oxfordcounty.ca/medical-dispatch

Starting this evening, Oxford County Paramedic Services will use a new system for 911 medical calls to ensure those with the most serious medical conditions continue to be seen first. Police and fire calls are not affected.

When you call 911 for a medical emergency, an emergency communications dispatcher will be there to take your call. You may be asked a few more questions to help dispatchers understand how serious or severe your condition is. If your needs are less urgent and demand for paramedic services is high, you may wait longer for an ambulance.
