Tracy Scott, Emergency Preparedness Resilience and Response Manager was recently nominated by The National Ambulance Resilience Unit for an award from The National chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear Centre (CBRN for short), who aim to bring together the emergency services to protect and prepare the UK against a CBRN threat.
Tracy was presented her award by Superintendent Lee Kendrick, Head of the National CBRN Centre but we also took the chance to recognise her work here at NEAS at our awards.
Tracy is an integral part of a national project to review and modernise the Ambulance Services response to a CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) incident. As the chair of the National Working Group which is represented by every ambulance trust across the UK, Tracy has led on the agenda to review both the education, training and response to a CBRN incident. The work that the National Group are undertaking will transform the way in which the UK Ambulance Service responds to a CBRN incident, ensuring we deliver the best possible care for the patients we serve whilst driving forward high standards of training and equipment available for our frontline colleagues.
Tracy was commended for her dedication to education and response in the CBRN arena, for her longstanding commitment to training and developing clinical decontamination in the ambulance service and for her enthusiasm, determination and leadership in modernising the CBRN response nationally.
