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. For further information on the work of the Sandpiper Trust, please go to www.sandpipertrust.org.

With immediate effect, BASICS Scotland will be postponing all Face-to-Face education. This will be reviewed in line with Scottish Government and Health Protection Scotland recommendations on a regular basis.

We will still be providing Tele-education courses and are currently working on other methods of providing remote and virtual learning.

We have also implemented a working from home policy. During this time we are unable to take enquiries by telephone and all enquiries should be sent via email. A full list of contact email addresses can be found on the homepage of our website.
