Pre-hospital critical care is not available through the NHS. Our local air ambulance charity - who does provide critical care – does not operate 24 hours a day. So what happens if somebody is seriously ill overnight or when other staffed services are unavailable? Bravo Medics’ volunteers step in.
Our highly trained volunteer Consultants attend critical care emergencies and save lives across Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Bath and North East Somerset, parts of Wiltshire and Gloucestershire plus other areas such as South Wales or North Devon when required.
Our Consultants work full time for the NHS and volunteer in their spare time.
“We attend cardiac arrests, severe asthma attacks, premature labours and traumas like car accidents and stabbings. We’re seeing a worrying increase in stabbings... Some scenes will stay with me forever because they were so horrific... I volunteer because I truly believe people deserve the best critical care when they need it.” Dr Andrew Heavyside, Co-Founder, Chair and Responder
Around 25% of people we treat would sadly die or suffer life-changing injuries without our intervention.
