What is SARS?
SARS provide specialist doctors and paramedics to assist the East of England Ambulance Service at the scenes of incidents where patients require an enhanced level of medical care before they reach hospital. For more than 44 years they have provided a local and advanced pre-hospital resource on a voluntary basis for local communities throughout Suffolk and the border areas of Norfolk, Essex & Cambridgeshire. SARS doctors and paramedics are all unpaid volunteers who provide their services without any charge
