Is that summer over now, then? It was beautiful while it lasted! The team were out and about and able to assist with just under 100 incidents last month. Let's hope the sun comes back again soon! The team will be there to help where they can @SCAS999@scacharity
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
As part of our culture of wider international learning and development Enhanced Care Paramedic Jamie on unit ER201 has Belgium Critical Care Practitioner @CarlHaentjens out on a @BASICS_SCAS shift today in Sunny Portsmouth! @scacharity@BASICS_HQ@SCAS999@emtaccs
Monthly incident report (April 2026): 104 taskings. Thanks as always to our wonderful sponsors @scacharity@HelipadHELP@BASICS_HQ and @SCAS999 we're ready for another wonderful year, helping where we can.
We are delighted to support the @SCAS999 Staff ran Peer-to-Peer Learning Group
These are certainly "Our sort of people" giving up their own time to benefit patient care.
May 18th - Major Incident Exercise with @HantsIOW_fire

Is it safe to say "spring has sprung?" or will this be the only sunny day for the rest of the year...? Let's hope not. The team have been out and about in the sunshine (and in a fair bit of wind and rain too), but let's focus on the positives, including 86 responses for @SCAS999
The latest batch of super high quality @BASICS_SCAS
5.11 EMS uniform has arrived and is fully sponsored thanks to @MedTreeUK & @GreenLabelPHEM
so at no cost to our charity meaning all our funds can do towards improving our patient facing response!
@scacharity@SCAS999@BASICS_HQ
The team has surpassed 1,000 responses this year and another 87 in the bag during February. Not too bad for a small team. Let's hope that March brings a little more sunshine. We've noticed an increase in motorbikes on our roads this week, stay alert and safe out there @SCAS999
Another incident amongst the many attended by @BASICS_SCAS in Hampshire but something a touch unusual with a good outcome due to a lot of skill and or luck!

January always feels like a long month for many of us, after the Christmas and New Year break. Well, the team of #volunteer responders didn't stop and clocked >100 incidents in the first month of the year. Only possible thanks to our wonderful sponsors @scacharity@BASICS_HQ
Another day another tyre while responding for @BASICS_SCAS not a pothole this time but avoiding another less careful motorist who hit some water & skidded towards me so I ended up saying hello to the Kerb! This tyre was 2 months old š Thanks @GreenLabelPHEM who will replace it!
Our responding team has grown! One of our trainees finished their education, portfolio & extensive mentoring hours & a joining qualified responder completed their portfolio matching & induction mentor hours! Great work both and welcome to the team @BASICS_HQ@SCAS999@scacharity
