Scotia Medical Group
SCIO Charity No: SC050096
About Us
Scotia Medical Group was founded by a group of friends and colleagues who share a common goal: saving lives. With a shared passion for community well-being, they came together to offer first aid training to people in the local area.
When a major medical provider withdrew from the region, a gap emerged in the market for trained and equipped first aiders and first responders at events. Thanks to mutual connections, a dedicated team of volunteers stepped up—showing remarkable commitment, passion, and enthusiasm—to support the creation of Scotia Medical Group.
Our primary mission is to save lives through first aid training, empowering local residents with the confidence, knowledge, and skills to act in emergencies. By building a network of trained individuals, we aim to ensure that more lives can be saved in critical situations.
In partnership with other organisations and statutory agencies, Scotia Medical Group will be there to assist in emergencies, providing life-saving support and contributing to the well-being of our communities.
