Our Service
Severn Freewheelers is a group of advanced
motorcyclists providing a free out-of-hours courier service for
hospitals in Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, North Wiltshire and
Herefordshire.
We carry
whole blood, pathology samples, patient scans / x-rays, human milk
- in fact any medical essentials between hospitals in the area. Our
hours are from 7pm in the evening to 7am the following day, all day
at weekends and public holidays.
All riders are volunteers
and hold a current advanced riding qualification (RoSPA or IAM)
with a yearly check-ride. All receive extra training in
emergency response riding and the transport of goods under
UN3733. In short, a professional team delivering a
professional service, FREE to the NHS at the point of use.
Each "shift" consists of five people, a dispatcher and four
riders, on
e in each area. The
dispatcher fields calls from the hospitals and plans the route for
the evening based on the calls received. Emergency calls are
obviously dealt with first and for these we use blue lights. At
weekends we may increase the complement of riders to cope with
extra demand.
Severn Freewheelers is a registered charity (Charity No:
1120999) and we are always looking for help. If you feel that you
would like to volunteer to either ride, dispatch or help with
fundraising then please see our volunteering page for more
details.
