Hi Everyone,

 

Please help us raise as much money as possible for the MEDICS. I will be running the London Marathon (26.2 miles) My aim is to beat 4 hours check out how my training is going:

MEDICS is an Accident and Emergency Doctor Service - the Mid-Essex Doctors Immediate Care Scheme - which operates under the nationwide BASICS organisation (British Association for Immediate Care).

MEDICS Doctors are called to provide emergency medical intervention at :

 road traffic accidents
 airport emergencies
 agricultural accidents
 serious medical emergencies
 fires
 sports and other activity injuries

 

MEDICS is not part of the NHS and the Doctors give their time and services free. It is funded by donations from the public and commercial organisations - which is why your help is so essential.

It costs over £22,000 to equip a MEDICS Doctor with the life-saving medical supplies they carry :

 radios and mobile telephones
 oxygen
 ventilators
 transfusion equipment
 defibrilators
 drugs
 splints
 shock suits
 dressings
 protective clothing

 

Essex has congested commuter belt areas and isolated rural communities. MEDICS Doctors work on a totally voluntary basis in the community they serve, bringing specialist emergency medical care to treat the seriously ill and injured until they can be transported to an Accident and Emergency Hospital in the region. Immediate medical care saves lives - and reduces the risk of complications that follow serious injuries.
