BASICS Scotland
The British Association for Immediate Care, Scotland (BASICS Scotland) aims to promote the provision of immediate care / skilled medical care in the pre-hospital setting. This primarily involves its members being available to attend emergencies that occur in their area as part of a coordinated response with the other emergency services - primarily, of course, the Scottish Ambulance Service.
BASICS Scotland courses include immediate care and emergency medicine courses for which there are 350 places, for rural practitioners, funded by NES each year. We are working with BASICS to ensure the Mobile Skills Unit complements their work, and with the goal of skills maintenance for people who've attended BASICS courses, and drawing on their expertise in delivering training in remote and rural areas.
