National Blood Bikes.

Dont know if any of you have seen this and are volunteers or have thought of doing so?


Looks like you need an IAM, RoSPA Gold or Silver or Police Class 1 Motorcycle qualification.

Always something I have wanted todo a soon as I got a Bike license but with the year i'm having.....

Will lookup my local one, always good to get a foot in the door in someway and help out even if you can't do the riding element.

Had a quick look on the page you linked but didn't see anything about required qualifications, will have a more detailed look when I am not in work.

You need to have passed your advanced motorcycle test (IAM).

Need a recognised advanced riding qual (IAMs, ROSPA, Police class 1) within the last 3 years, be over 25 and have to have had your full licence for over 3 years.

I've looked into this and will be registering with Manchester as soon as I have the necessary experience under my belt. I think it's a fantastic service not just for blood but fluids, milk etc and hope to do my part as soon as practicable.

What! You can get milk delivered by super-bike and the NHS pays!?

What do you have to have wrong with you to get that service?

Must be for one of those fancy designer coffees, a nipachino

Perhaps they could make ice cream and call it raspberry nipple!

the northants version doesnt mention anything about the advanced riders cert so have emailed them to ask for more info :-)

heard back from SERV (oxon & northants) and they say about needing to have the advanced riders (IAMS etc) and also have to have held a full license for at least 2 years :-(

You only need those qualifications to ride the serve bike , but you can do it on your own , there's no money to be made and it's free for the nhs as a way to save them money

Sorry buddy, but you can't

There are all sorts of Insurance reasons your own policy won't cover you for doing that task . . . . have a gooood look at your policy.
NHS won't go near you for the same reason . . . it's not just a pint of OJ or half a dozen eggs you have on board mate.

It's genuine 100% life saving fluids/organs or equipment . . . . .

Do you really think they're gonna post up on faceborg or twatter and ask if any biker "just happen" to be going past S^t.Bernadettes & all Prophets NHS Trust . . . . Do us a favour chap, drop this kidney off for us

provided you had a top box then wouldnt it be fine ? LOL

Not sure whether a kidney or a lung would stay in place tied to the rear seat with a bungee cord would it ? :-)

That's what they told me but gotta be 25 I have 3 friends that do it and two of them on there personal bike , only reason I haven't signed to yet is because I'm 24 I also spoke to insurance , iTS NOT COVERED AND YOU DO HAVE TO ADD IT TO YOUR POLICY but as of march I should be a serv hampshire rider on my cat (£45 insurance increase )

Hats off to you [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] HEHORE

I was wrong . My apologies, and I stand corrected

The caps lock was not aimed at you. It was to all that are considering
