This study refers to the analysis and evaluation of self-defence for the EMS (Emergency Medical Service) medical staff.. The design of the research is descriptive, qualitative and quantitative. The research sample was chosen deliberately. Interested and indirect observation in a period of five months was applied in the data collection methods. Furthermore, there was application of questionnaires which investigated the relations of profession to self-defence. At the end of the training unstructured interviews were conducted. In the qualitative part of the research the evidence were analysed by a three-step encoding method. The quantitative part was focused on mapping the threats, risks, general information and circumstances of the attack. Gathered findings were statistically evaluated. There are two kinds of results: theoretical and practical. The theoretical results reflect creating an actual concept of EMS training, interest in education and training in self-defence.
