PODCAST #18 : Dr Ed Valentine on BASICS (UK)

Dr Ed Valentine is a dual-trained EM & ICU doc in the Old Dart, currently spending a year as a retrieval Fellow with London HEMS and responding as a BASICS volunteer in his home county of Wiltshire, UK

We talk about the role of BASICS in the UK to “value add” to the scene despite existing paramedic services and the relative proximity of tertiary hospitals in the UK compared with Australia.

Ed promises to come ‘down under’ to SMACC GOLD in March 2014, so we’ll set aside a cold one for him in the SMACC lounge
