In 1967, Easton set up a Road Accident After Care Scheme (RAACS) in North Riding, Yorkshire.[1] He published some recommendations.[5] This was an important innovation that helped provide a model for immediate care schemes that emerged in the United Kingdom.[6] He was a key figure in establishing the British Association of Immediate Care Schemes in June 1977.[7] He was the first chairman of the organisation.[6]
In 1972, the President of the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) presented him with a Foundation Council award, which is given for special meritorious work in connection with the College.[9]
