Years of training and refinement have gone into making the service what it is today.
But that does not mean we stand still. By constantly reviewing the way we work, researching new techniques and learning from others, we continue to improve the level of care we offer.
Training
Our courses in pre-hospital medicine are over-subscribed and attract applicants from all over the world. We currently offer two courses:
- Pre-hospital Emergency Anaesthesia (PHEA)
- Pre-hospital Emergency Medicine Crew Course (PHEMCC)
But our commitment training doesn’t stop there, and that’s why we are developing the North of England’s first centre of excellence in pre-hospital medicine.

We coordinate our emergency response from our airdesk at Progress House in Eaglescliffe.
