Radio 4 appeal for PTCF

We were delighted to be selected again for the BBC Radio 4 Appeal.

The appeal was aired in August 2013, and was recorded by TV presenter and writer Richard Hammond.

Our Presenter: Richard Hammond

Richard Hammond recording the PTCF Radio 4 Appeal

As you may know, Richard (seen here recording our appeal) suffered a horrific accident while filming Top Gear in 2006.  Thankfully, he recovered – he received immediate trauma care delivered by doctors and paramedics with specialist training.

Had he been in another, poorer country, the outcome may well have been different.
The Primary Trauma Care Foundation works to train doctors and first responders in the management of severe injury, in order to save lives and prevent complications.

We work across the world in developing countries, where injuries from road accidents, violent crime and conflict are often at their highest.

Listen to the Appeal

The appeal was aired on Radio 4 on Sunday 11th Aug 2013 at 7.55 am and 9.26 pm and on Thursday 15th August 2013at 3.27 pm.

Listen to the appeal on the Radio 4 website here.
