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.
