BEEP Doctors welcome extra support from Sellafield Ltd
We're boosting our support for life saving emergency services in the community with the announcement of further funding for BEEP Doctors Cumbria.

BEEP Doctors (BASICS) Cumbria is a charity providing skilled volunteer doctors who can rapidly respond to accidents and emergencies in the community.
Its team of 12 volunteer doctors work 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide enhanced emergency care and surgical procedures that are not normally possible until a patient reaches hospital.
Last year Sellafield Ltd provided over 拢91k of funding to the charity through our Social Impact Multiplied (SiX) programme of community investments, enabling the BEEP Doctors to buy two brand new emergency response vehicles.
This year an additional 拢61k has helped the Doctors to equip their vehicles with additional kit such as mechanical ventilators, chest compression devices, and patient monitoring systems; meaning they can respond to a wider variety of emergencies and potentially save more lives.
Sellafield Ltd CEO Euan Hutton met with the BEEP Doctors this week to see the new equipment for himself and learn more about the difference it will make. He said:
바카라 사이트淭he BEEP Doctors do vital work in our communities, and we바카라 사이트檙e delighted to continue our support in getting them the equipment they need.
바카라 사이트淥ur 拢10m annual programme of social impact investments is focussed on creating and sustaining thriving communities and working with organisations to improve the health and wellbeing of the community is an important part of this.
바카라 사이트淚바카라 사이트檓 proud that our funding will help the BEEP Doctors save even more lives, and get patients back to their families.바카라 사이트�
Dr Theo Weston MBE, BEEP Doctors Cumbria Chair, said:
바카라 사이트淭his new equipment has revolutionised our input at the roadside and our patients will benefit significantly
바카라 사이트淭he chest compressor works better than any human and without the high-tech monitoring and ventilation systems we wouldn바카라 사이트檛 be able to provide the same level of pre-hospital care to patients.
바카라 사이트淲e are sincerely grateful to Sellafield Ltd for their continued support.바카라 사이트�
