All doctors in EMICS are volunteers who attend emergency incidents at the request of and in support of staff from the EMAS.
These doctors are all very experienced and fully trained in trauma work and are equipped to perform life saving interventions at the scene of an incident such as industrial or road traffic accident or rail crash. They carry with them a wide range of specialist equipment to deal with the serious trauma and other emergencies that might be encountered in their day to day emergency work.
Although all the doctors work for EMICS on a totally voluntary basis, the Scheme, which is a registered charity, urgently needs to raise funds to purchase more of the specialist equipment that the doctors carry so that more doctors can be recruited.
A typical set of equipment for the doctors cost around £25,000. EMICS is a registered charity and receives no financial support from any government source. Anyone wishing to support the work of EMICS can do so by telephoning the Treasurer on 07736711199 or by emailing foster@emics.org.uk
Donations
How does it work?
So long as you are a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid enables you to boost the value of your donations by as much as 28p for every £1 you give to your favourite charity.
So, for example, if you decide to give £10 to EMICS we will be able to claim an extra £2.80 from HM Revenue & Customs. It might not sound like a lot, but every penny really does count! What is more, if you are a higher rate taxpayer, you are entitled to claim tax relief on your donations, enabling you to reclaim as much as 23p from every £1 donated to charity.
