If you go into the woods at night what you don't expect to see is @BASICS_SCAS @SCASBASICSER201 Jamie @SCAS999 @SCAS_HART & an Ambulance rescuing an injured Horse Rider from a very remote location in the dark! (This very much the "Good" bit of the track) @scacharity @BASICS_HQ

⏳ Not long to go until The Pre-Hospital Care Conference 2026, taking place on Thursday 8 and Friday 9 October! We're delighted to reveal our next speaker, Jamie Todd. Jamie is an Enhanced Care Paramedic and Clinical Lead at @BASICS_SCAS , as well as a Pre-Hospital Education Consultant and Educator at @GreenLabelPHEM . A career paramedic with extensive global experience across clinical, educational, and research settings, Jamie has contributed to international pre-hospital textbooks, guidelines, and educational programmes. He's also renowned for being an occasional teller of unpopular truths! 🎤 Session: Can You Be Alive When You Are Dead? CPR-Induced Consciousness: A Case Study CPR-induced consciousness is a rare but increasingly recognised phenomenon. Despite this, there is very little guidance available on its recognition, management, and patient outcomes. In this session, Jamie will explore the current evidence, share real-world insights, and help delegates prepare for "that day" when they encounter this challenging situation in practice. Don't miss the opportunity to hear from Jamie and many other leading voices in pre-hospital care. 🎟️ Secure your place today: basics.org.uk/conference/ #BASICS2026 #PreHospitalCare #PHEM #EmergencyMedicine #Paramedic #CPR #MedicalEducation #BASICS_HQ #CriticalCare #MedicalConference

We are delighted that we are able to support brilliant teams of volunteer medics across the country, who support their local ambulance services in emergencies. This time we've funded much needed PPE Helmets for @BASICS_SCAS in #Hampshire. #EmergencyCare #WeDontJustFundHelipads

Thanks to @wbairambulance whose lovely crew came out to support us in the rural depths of Mid-Hampshire this evening. Happily their critical care skills were not needed this time but always great to catch up (albeit briefly) with like minded colleagues. @scacharity @BASICS_HQ

July's heatwave didn't stop the team from being able to respond and assist at 112 incidents last month, our second busiest month on record - oddly only beaten by July last year (we're starting to see a theme here). Thanks to @scacharity and @HelipadHELP for keeping us in business

A BBC report from our recent good news story..... #VolunteerNotAmateur @scacharity @SCAS999 @HelipadHELP @HantsIOW_fire @zollemsfire @MedTreeUK bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c87n…

Yet another of many Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest Survivors with a @BASICS_SCAS VOLUNTEER responder being a key part of the team involved delivering high quality patient care. (Although this case is amazing!) #VolunteerNotAmateur @scacharity @BASICS_HQ scas.nhs.uk/eleven-strong-te…

Great examples of joint working yesterday for @BASICS_SCAS & Hampshire IOW Air Ambulance with @SCASBASICSER201 dispatched by the Critical Care Incident Desk to a Cat 1 Incident + remote support and then later a joint response to a rural area. @scacharity @SCAS999 @HelipadHELP

Thanks to stirling work by @BASICS_SCAS responder Dan ER204 our team now has these new style & updated fabulous and professionally made checklist pocket books for Procedures and Medications - 🎉

On this International Paramedics Day how could we forget our amazing team of volunteers (Mostly Paramedics) who willingly give up their own time to support the @SCAS999 South Central Ambulance Service clinicians & the public of Hampshire! @scacharity @HelipadHELP @GreenLabelPHEM

I think we spoke too soon about summer being over. It's been hot and sweaty, but that didn't stop the team helping with 106 incidents in June, including helping out where we could during the @SCAS999 major incident. Keep cool this month, we're still around to help where we can.

WOW just Wow! Since the 1st April 2026 @BASICS_SCAS unit ER201 has already completed 100 Enhanced Care responses in Hampshire all thanks to our amazing supporters! @scacharity @GreenLabelPHEM @SCAS999 @SnowsVolvo @SafeResponse @MedTreeUK @zollemsfire
