Residents of Lincolnshire can now benefit from further enhanced emergency medical care when faced with a life-threatening situation, such as severe trauma, cardiac arrest or a major road accident. This specialist intervention is usually available only to patients in the hospital setting and has been shown to significantly improve survival rates by delivering critical treatment at the scene.
We have further expanded our services into the county to strengthen emergency response capabilities across the region.
The East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) said: “We welcome EMICS recruiting further responders in Lincolnshire to provide patients a greater coverage and availability of critical care by their highly trained doctors”.
For 40 years EMICS doctors have worked alongside NHS paramedics, providing advanced hospital-level care and lifesaving interventions before patients reach hospital.
The charity has responded to more than 50,000 emergencies across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire—an average of three patients every day—operating 24/7, 365 days a year.
Dr Tim Gray MBE, Founder of EMICS, added:
“For 40 years, EMICS has ensured patients receive expert care when every second counts. I’m delighted to welcome our new Lincolnshire doctors, whose dedication and expertise will be instrumental in saving lives.”
While the arrival of EMICS in Lincolnshire is being welcomed as a boost for the county’s emergency care provision, EMICS relies entirely on public donations to fund its lifesaving work. The charity receives no government funding and depends on community support to equip its doctors with the specialist medical tools needed for rapid, effective response.
Dr John Inman, Strategic Lead for EMICS, urged local residents and businesses to help sustain the service:
“This expansion is all about making sure that patients and their families get the best possible care when it matters most. But we can’t do it alone. We rely on the support of our community to keep this vital work going. As a charity, we receive no government funding, and we need £90,000 each year to keep saving lives. Every donation goes directly toward providing lifesaving treatment—whether that’s at the roadside or potentially in your own home.”
