Welcome to BASICS Scotland
**Welcome to our new Website - please note some areas are still being further developed.**
The British Association of Immediate Care Scotland (BASICS Scotland) is a charity based in Perthshire. We specialise in promoting the provision of high quality pre-hospital emergency care to health professionals in Scotland through the provision of 350 annual course places funded by NES.
A Word from our Chairman - Dr Hal Maxwell
We hope that this new (and still evolving) website will act as a easy and useful source of information to support rural NHS healthcare professionals to deliver better patient care.
You will find contact information for the Board of Directors and the office staff as well as information about the courses we offer.
You will also find out how we are developing courses, membership, BASICS Responders and other pre-hospital care activities and we hope also to include news updates highlighting the work of both the organisation and the members.
We need your support and welcome comments and feedback on our work at all times. Please feel free to email me at any time to suggest ways in which we can continue to improve.
The Sandpiper Trust
The Sandpiper Trust, a Scottish Charity, was set up in memory of Sandy Dickson by his parents, family and friends. The primary aim of the Trust is to ensure that all rural GPs in Scotland are provided with essential emergency medical equipment and resources once they have undergone specialist training courses and gained certification from BASICS SCOTLAND, (The British Association for Immediate Care). For further information on the work of the Sandpiper Trust, please go to www.sandpipertrust.org.
