23rd Polish National Emergency Medical Rescue Championships
We are proud to announce that the Voivodeship Ambulance Service in Olsztyn will host the 23rd International Polish Emergency Medical Services Championships, which will take place from 9 to 11 September 2026.
The competition will feature up to 50 teams selected during regional championships and 10 international teams from European countries – bringing together medical rescue professionals from across the continent. The teams will compete in nine technical and medical challenges, designed by medics with many years of practical and training experience.
The University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn is a co-organiser of the Championships. Services and institutions involved in emergency response and public safety – the Police, the Fire Brigade and the Volunteer Water Rescue Service – will also be involved in the event.
The organisation of the entire championship series is overseen by the Association of Medical Rescue Employers.
The venue for the competition will be Olsztyn – the heart of Warmia and Mazury, where competitors and guests will also be accommodated. For our residents, we have planned a children’s festival, as well as an Ambulance Parade through the city.
We are delighted that once again we can organise an event that brings together the medical rescue community – people for whom providing assistance is not just a job, but a true calling. See you in Olsztyn!
