The BBC News website has recently had a report about a new charity that is to be launched in North Wales for doctors to attend the scene of road and other serious accidents. The charity, which will be known as The North Wales Emergency Doctor Service, has been set up with the intention to provide specialist support for paramedics at the scene of road and other serious accidents. This new idea follows results of research that has revealed that expert help for paramedics at the scene of the accident can lead to a better outcome for many people involved in accidents and can help save lives.
Initially, four doctors throughout the region have volunteered for the scheme, and they will work in their free time and in less busy periods for hospitals. Each of the doctors will be equipped with £15,000 worth of equipment in their cars and they will be notified at the same time as the ambulance service so that they arrive on the scene as soon as possible. It is hoped that by raising funds more doctors will sign up to the scheme and if it proves successful it is hoped that similar schemes will be set up all around the UK.
The service should be up and running by the end of May and the official charity launch is expected to take place in the UK. It is hoped that the official launch will bring in much needed funds to help the scheme grow. The chairman of the charity, Dr Suman Mitra, stated that his ambition is to get more Doctors involved; however he said that the main problem is a lack of funds and that the scheme simply doesn’t have enough money to kit them out. It is hoped that this will change once the charity is officially launched in July 2010.
