Dr Robert Konrad has over 32 years of experience in national and international (air) rescue services. In addition to his qualification as a paramedic/emergency paramedic (D), he has further certifications as a Flight Critical Care Paramedic from Australasian (AREMT), as a Certified Flight Paramedic (FP-C) and as a Certified Critical Care Paramedic (CCP-C) from the USA. He can also look back on training experience in emergency medicine since 1996.

His international assignments for the UN in Sudan as a flight paramedic and base manager, for the EU as a critical care paramedic on the EULEX intensive care helicopter in Kosovo, as a crew member on the rescue helicopter in Ghana and various humanitarian missions, for example after the tsunami in Sri Lanka and in Haiti, underline his expertise. In Haiti, he was deployed as operations coordinator and paramedic on the only German rescue helicopter after the major earthquake and was thus able to expand his international network and operational experience. Since 2006, he has been able to utilise his knowledge of intensive care medicine through his work in international intensive care flights and medical escort. He was able to gain further experience through his work in the areas of anaesthesia, interdisciplinary intensive care units and emergency departments in various maximum care hospitals in Germany and Switzerland.

From September 2016 to January 2019, he was the responsible project manager for the INTERREG V project ‘Cross-border rescue service between Bavaria and the Czech Republic’. Since January 2020, he has been a research assistant and postdoc at the Institute for Rescue, Emergency and Disaster Management (IREM) at the Würzburg-Schweinfurt University of Applied Sciences (THWS), based in Nuremberg. He also holds a teaching position at the THWS in the bachelor’s degree programme ‘Digital Rescue Management’.

Dr Konrad holds a Bachelor’s degree in ‘B.A. Emergency Management Practitioner’ in Civil Protection and Rescue Management and a Master of Public Health (MPH) in Health Sciences/Public Health from TU Dresden. He completed his doctorate in health sciences at the University of Witten/Herdecke on the topic of ‘Development of a care (level)-related assessment tool as a basis for needs-based planning for evacuations and downstream medical care’ (Dr. rer. medic.).
