Event first aid and medical services to villages in the Vale of Belvoir.

The Belvoir First Aid, helping to save life in the Vale of Belvoir if you are holding an event we can help you provide first aid.

The Belvoir First Aid was established in early 2006 to provide event first aid and medical services to villages in the Vale of Belvoir and surrounding areas. Our experience was that events where these services needed to be on hand were not well serviced by the existing larger first aid organisations, and community responder organisations are not permitted to offer first aid services.

BFA uses volunteers from the local villages who either have, or we can train to have, first aid certifications, First Person on Scene, Paediatric First Aid and higher, and who wish to use these to support the local communities. We are not an emergency service although many of our volunteers have quite extensive training and also undertake work for both the NHS and for private ambulance services as well. All our volunteers are trained in first aid according to HSE requirements, or First Person on Scene (FPOS). Most are also trained in CPR, Defibrillation and medical gases as well. A few are trained as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) and are authorised to drive our 4x4 ambulance, once they have completed their emergency driving courses. We also have several medcial practitioners who work with us where additional levels of medical care are required.

To book BFA at an event, you must contact us either by telephone, mail or through the web site to check availability. As we use volunteers, we are reliant on their goodwill to attend. However if it is a large event we also have relationships with other first aid organisations locally and can often bring additional resources to help. In this event we will have to pass any costs on to you, so please book early! You will need to fill in a booking form that we can e-mail or post to you.

We will liaise with the local ambulance service regarding your event and make sure they are fully briefed in case of any emergency.We are a registered charity (1122209) and rely on the generosity of the public and local businesses to be able to offer this valuable service. Donations can be made directly to us; through collecting tins in local shops, pubs and doctors' surgeries; by donations directly to our bank (Barclays Bank Melton Mowbray) or though Paypal. Thank you for your support for this valuable local service. We hope we can serve you soon!
