The importance of well-trained personnel in emergency services cannot be overstated and Bayer is delighted to support this essential training.   

SCAS said ‘We are incredibly grateful to Bayer for their generous apprenticeship levy transfer, which is enabling our staff to progress in their careers by starting the Paramedic Degree Apprenticeship.
