AMBULANCES
We provide Emergency Ambulances, 4x4 Ambulances, response cars and response cycle.
The New Ambulance Cycle Responders
Cycle responders are fully trained to work on their own and operate in busy areas which are difficult to travel through in a car or ambulance. Staff on bikes can get through narrow streets, pedestrian areas and shopping centres very easily. They are able to reach patients quickly and start to give life-saving treatment while an ambulance is on the way.
Our cycle responders have equipment designed to enable them to respond to emergency calls: a custom-built bicycle, medical kit and specialist clothing.
Custom-built bicycle
Cycle responders use custom-built mountain bikes fitted with blue lights and a siren. The bikes are include lights, pannier bags and water bottles.
Medical kit
Our cycle responders’ kit includes, among other things: a defibrillator (used to re-start a patient’s heart if they go into cardiac arrest), oxygen,, a pulse monitor, a blood pressure monitor, bag and mask resuscitators, bandages and dressings, rubber gloves, and cleanser.
