Today and tomorrow Perthshire-based medical charity BASICS Scotland – the British Association of Immediate Care – will mark its 10th anniversary at its conference in Nairn.
Each year BASIC Scotland's qualified instructors train some 350 doctors, nurses and paramedics, chiefly working in rural areas, on life-saving pre-hospital care. Their skills are relied upon in call-outs from road accidents and people with chest pains to head injuries and falls.
