Global Consulting, a division of Global Medical Services, was formed in 2005 as the industry grew and the realities, and threats, of living in the 21st century evolved. The division clearly filled a void in the emerging field of risk management and emergency preparedness services, and since inception, Global Consulting has successfully completed various high-profile projects involving pandemic influenza planning, threat and risk assessments, and chemical/biological/radiological/nuclear/explosives (CBRNE) preparedness.
