Live or work within the EMAS region
Have attended a pre-hospital specific training course (eg BASICS PHECC, PHTLS)

Doctors who become active responders for us must commit to:
At least three years responding in the EMAS region
Take part in the EMICS and EMAS governance process as required
Follow EMICS and relevant EMAS policies and procedure
As with any successful charity, EMICS can only operate with a team of volunteers. We need people in a range of support roles to ensure that our clinicians have the freedom to respond to emergencies, with the right equipment and other resources they need to treat patients.
We need people with a varying range of skills including:
What matters is the time and commitment, even a couple of hours a week or at the weekends. If you have only limited availability to help we would be interested in talking to you. You will be surprised what a difference you can make to our ability to treat patients.
If you want to get involved, just get in touch to investigate how you can help.
