From a small group of individual doctors responding in their own cars into the over 30 strong, multidisciplinary team we know today, made up of both Solo Responders and of Team Responders in our very own response vehicles (#DR01).

Dr. Bowler has not only helped patients in their time of need, mentored countless nurses, doctors and paramedics, but he has also supported the developed MedServe Wales.

Dr. Bowler has been associated with the charity since 1998, dedicating over two decades to providing pre-hospital emergency medical care, often across some of Wales’ most remote and challenging locations. His tireless service has made a lasting difference to patients, colleagues and MedServe Wales.

It's been a busy week for both our Team and Solo responders, with 6 Team Shifts and numerous Solo responses undertaken!
It is thanks to generous donations and your support of our fundraising events, such as the Gala Dinner, that we are able to provide this service.

The last few week's has seen our #VolunteerMedics undertake training days, support clinical electives & deploy as both solo & team responders to many serious incidents across one of our busiest months in terms of the number of DRO1 shifts.
Thank you all for your continued support of MedServe Wales!

#AutoGlymUK has kindly provided us with cleaning product, that ensures #DR01 is looking clean and tidy at all times, but more importantly maximises the reflectivity of our high-visibility markings!

Thanks to #AutoGlym we can stay safe during our Blue Light responses and whilst on scene on fast roads.
Being highly visible reduces the risk to our team and those around us.
Thanks for your support!!!

This weekend saw the second day of training for 2025. Key topic areas were covered to help prepare our newest #VolunteerMedics to deliver #EnhancedCare in support of @welshambulance.bsky.social.

We must thank St John Ambulance Cymru for the use of their Cardiff training facility.

Having an increased understanding of extrication methodology allows our clinicians to have a realistic understanding of the challenges faced at the scene of a road traffic collision by the fire service, a realistic understanding of capabilities and time scales to extrication.
