Pre-Hospital Immediate Care for Suffolk and Surrounding Counties


The Suffolk Accident Rescue Service is a charitable organisation, established in 1972, that provides medical care at the scene of emergencies. We provide assistance to the East of England Ambulance Service at '999' calls in Suffolk and neighbouring counties. The service trains and equips participating doctors and critical care paramedics to help achieve this.

Website
Information for SARS members:
The database is now being integrated with the main website. It will be a while until it is functional.

Until further notice please use the link at the TOP of the page and not the link in the left hand menu to access the database. That is - please use the separate website (at www.sars999.org.uk/datab) and not the database that might appear on this webpage. (I hope this is clear if not please do contact me - Tim)

WEBSITE - MAJOR UPGRADE

By: Tim Watson  on: Wed 16 of Dec., 2009 14:26 GMT  (569 Reads)
The website is undergoing a significant upgrade (to Tikiwiki 4.0) meaning that our website might not look quite right for a while. The upgrade will enable a lot of new features for our website.

Several sections of the website need a 'tidy up', particularly the forum section. Everything should look a lot better very soon.

Phase II of the upgrade is to merge the callout database back into the website.
