abc paramedic services and first aid training
Scotland,
ABC Paramedic Services was set up by our Training and Event Manager, Craig Gray.
Craig spent fifteen years working in front line Emergency Services within the
Scottish Ambulance Service in Edinburgh. The final six years of this was spent
as a First Response Paramedic on a Rapid Response Vehicle dealing predominately
with Class A / Red (i.e. potentially life threatening) emergencies. In 2011
Craig became the first Paramedic in the history of the Scottish Ambulance
Service to be awarded ‘The Chief Executive’s Special Award’ for displaying the
highest levels of commitment and professionalism in his job. Craig’s
considerable knowledge and expertise extends to the private sector including
delivering First Aid Training to Healthcare Professionals, courses at the Royal
College of Surgeons, and providing Medical Cover at events such as ‘T in the
Park’, ‘The Edinburgh Tattoo’ and the ‘Queen’s Garden Party’. In 2012, Craig
provided Paramedic level cover as Chief Medical Officer at the ‘Urdd National
Eisteddfod’ festival in Wales with over 100,000 spectators in attendance. Craig
has also employed his medical skills for charitable causes, running a medical
clinic in a remote part of North East India as well as being involved in a
pioneering ‘out of hospital Cardiac Arrest’ study aimed at improving CPR skills.
Craig takes a very personal, hands-on approach to the business and is actively
involved in the strategic developments of all training, events, and projects.
