BASICS Hampshire is a registered charity. Our operationally active members are 17 volunteer doctors and 1 consultant nurse. In our own time we provide advanced medical care to critically ill and injured people. We are called to the scene of road traffic accidents, industrial accidents, natural and manmade disasters, and to medical emergencies within peoples homes.We all carry a pager, which is activated by Ambulance Control in Winchester. We are called whenever the ambulance service is faced with a critical patient who needs advanced intensive care on scene. We then attend the incident using our own private vehicles or one of our charity vehicles with blue lights and sirens.
One of us is needed immediately at the scene of an incident between 2 and 8 times a day. In Hampshire alone, there are over 1,300 requests for a BASICS doctor per year.
As a charity last year we managed to attend one third of these call outs. In the remaining two thirds, no doctor is available to attend the patient. This is because the volunteer doctors all work full time and can only respond when not doing their day jobs.
