Generous donations, including £40,000 from The David Snowdon Trust, have allowed a team of dedicated volunteer doctors which carries out life-saving work in Cumbria to buy a new emergency response vehicle.
BEEP Doctors (BASICS Cumbria) has taken possession of a Volvo XC60, which will be based in the north of the county, serving the Penrith and Carlisle area.
“This enhancement to our fleet, increasing our vehicles from three to four, marks a major milestone for the BEEP Doctors and will make a life-saving difference in the northern part of the county,” said Dr Graeme Spencer, Chair of the BEEP Doctors.
Cumbria’s 12 BEEP Doctors, who are all volunteers, provide enhanced pre-hospital emergency medical care. They work closely with the police and fire services, North West Ambulance Service paramedics, the Great North Air Ambulance Service and North West Air Ambulance.
