Pre-hospital critical care is not available through the NHS. Road ambulances do not always carry doctors and paramedics cannot administer some medications, give emergency anaesthetics, sedate people or perform emergency surgery. Our local air ambulance charity - who does provide critical care – does not operate for six hours at night. So what happens when somebody is seriously ill but other services cannot help? Bravo Medics steps in. Our volunteers are on call to drive on blue lights to emergencies at any time, often in family time or after a long hospital shift. Our specially trained and equipped volunteer doctors attend the scene of medical 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.
We're in need of some new photos and videos of our work and would love some help. You would be able to join a medic whilst we respond, and/or capture our medics, their cars and equipment.
