Scottish Mountain Rescue (SMR) is an umbrella organisation, with teams the final decider of how they operate. RRMT providers can provide resuscitation including bag valve masks and simple airways, complete an A-to-E assessment in medical and trauma scenarios, and provide some life-saving interventions (like chest seals and tourniquets).
