Most members of the Scheme gain immense satisfaction in knowing that advanced skills, normally undertaken in hospital, can benefit the patient, where and when they need it. Experienced pre-hospital care doctors work alongside more junior members of the Scheme to aid the development of key knowledge and practical skills.
Across the UK, doctors who are members of the British Association of Immediate Care (BASICS) are on-call for their local ambulance service to assist at the scenes of accidents. Within West Yorkshire, a group of doctors provide cover twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, responding to dispatch requests from YAS.
Under supervised training and mentorship, the WYMRT Scheme provides the basis for doctors wanting to join the YAS-BASICS rota. In this way, operational experience and continuing professional development can be effectively facilitated.
