We specialise in providing valuable intensive training programmes to health professionals throughout Scotland with the overall aim to raise the quality of pre-hospital immediate care.

We offer a range of face-to-face courses including:

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.

We are pleased to introduce the new Chief Executive of BASICS Scotland Lucy Aitchison. She is taking over the reins of the organisation from Prof. Colville Laird, who is retiring at Christmas. Lucy comes from a background of over 20-years work in charity leadership and management, the majority of which has been in health-related charities.

Lucy said “I am delighted to be part of the BASICS team, and I look forward to helping ensure the fantastic work continues. I’d like to pay tribute to Colville and the incredible journey he has taken BASICS Scotland and other stakeholders on, to improve the field of pre-hospital emergency care. As well as the great staff team, I’d like to acknowledge the importance of all the volunteers who give their time and expertise to BASICS Scotland. Whether as a Responder, Course Instructor or Board Member I am truly humbled by the commitment everyone is willing to give. My thanks to you all – and wishing everyone a happy and healthy Christmas!” ... See MoreSee Less
