We send our deepest condolences to the Royal Family on the news of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. She has been a beacon of stability, respect and service to the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and the whole world for her reign of 70 years. God Save the King.

A New Years Message from our Chairman:
"I’d like to reflect on this year by thanking the amazing team that SIMCAS has become.

[SIMCAS Immediate Medical Care @SIMCAS_UK]

(9/10) I am looking forward to 2022 as the year we will really get going, and we are building on the solid support the entire team has given. We are all glad to see the back of 2021 for so many reasons and I am sure you

(8/10) Jed Herman has organised clothing and kept our operations map up to date and everyone has got involved in teaching and contributed to our internal discussion groups. Thank you all for your input – you are making SIMCAS what it is and will be.

(7/10) Abi Monck is really leading from the front on fundraising so please consider helping her raise money for the charity through her JustGiving page (https://t.co/9SCPoS91YW) (https://t.co/2Xu1rxz0bK).

(6/10) Adam Waller, Dom Ward, Patrick Hayes, Chris Martin and Jamie Monks for their work on our Clinical Standard Operating Procedures – Jamie also for our superb website.

[SIMCAS Immediate Medical Care @SIMCAS_UK]

(5/10) It feels an impossible task to pick out particular supporters as everyone has done so much, but particular thanks must go to Tim Mordaunt for providing our superb fully equipped response car and hosting training days, Kevin Fuller for organising training and PPE…

[SIMCAS Immediate Medical Care @SIMCAS_UK]

(4/10) We cover the entire gamut of prehospital care, from people bringing years of front line experience and expertise to enthusiastic clinicians keen to add prehospital care to their portfolio.

[SIMCAS Immediate Medical Care @SIMCAS_UK]

(3/10) We now have a proper corporate structure and members working hard on all aspects required for a modern, properly governed service. We are now a team of 11 doctors, 5 nurses, an ODP and 14 paramedics.

[SIMCAS Immediate Medical Care @SIMCAS_UK]

From a tiny dormant group at the beginning of 2021, SIMCAS received a terrific boost with kick-starter support from Platinum Ambulance Service, so recruitment and training could begin in earnest.

[SIMCAS Immediate Medical Care @SIMCAS_UK]

The true blessing of Christmas lies not in gifts but in the family that sits beside you. May this holiday bring peace and prosperity to you all. From all of us at SIMCAS, we hope you remain safe and well this holiday and enjoy a very happy Christmas

#DidYouKnow @BASICS_HQ schemes like ourselves do not receive any funding? We're a charity that relies on the generosity of the great British public like you to keep us on the road. Without you, we would cease to exist. Donate today! 💙 --> https://t.co/ouhbUIkJ8s

@GNairambulance @GreggsOfficial Pack of sausage rolls, steak slice, sausage cheese + beans melt and a pack of doughnuts please. I’ll clear a landing site in Sussex 👍

A big thank you to Adam, Gerry, and Kevin for such a great start and a special thank you to Tim and Platinum Ambulance Service for hosting us. We'll be doing it again very soon. The future is looking very bright for SIMCAS and its members! (5/5)

Another huge milestone for South East Coast Immediate Medical Care Scheme!

Almost half of our entire responding membership came together on Saturday 2nd October at Platinum Ambulance Service's base for our first training day of the new era. (1/5)

[SIMCAS Immediate Medical Care @SIMCAS_UK]

Outdoor training had to be held as the weather was beyond atrocious but it will feature shortly so we can drill Road Traffic Collisions, Major Trauma and other incidents in austere, pre-hospital environments. (4/5)
