This volunteers week I want to pay tribute to all the @BASICS_HQ schemes across the country who support @AACE_org trusts responding to the most serious patients. #doctors #paramedics and #nurses given their time free 24/7 to save lives and provide additional care to patients.

Very grateful to my colleagues in @NEImmediateCare @STSFTrust & the North East Ambulance Service for all that they do to support patient care across our region. Thank you also to those who support @NEImmediateCare especially @t_riple9 @BASICS_HQ @HelipadHELP @Gary_BASICS

Volunteers Week - Thousands of call-outs. - Thousands of hours. - Countless lives impacted. All made possible by volunteer clinicians from BASICS schemes across the UK and the people that support or fundraise for them. Thank you from everyone at @BASICS_HQ
