text: In reply to message23963: The guidelines are to establish a national SOP and enable the SMOs to go forth and prosper whenever it comes to the direction of their zone medics. Zone medical requirements of CPR and first aid training are given by the Red Cross on a monthly basis. The SOP isn’t a final rendition by any means, and is revised quarterly or earlier as seen fit. It has the ability to be changed, but minimums need to be met to ensure that at least someone can understand and implement medicine/medical training.
