About
About
In common with other Blood Bike groups nationwide, NERVS was formed with the objective of providing a free transportation service to the Health Service.
​
Live operations began in May 2018 and we now provide transportation of medical samples and treatments, medical equipment (such as will fit on a bike, or even a car), donated breast milk and files for free to the NHS.
NERVS is affiliated to the Nationwide Association of Blood Bikes (NABB). NABB states that they “consist of independent Blood Bike Group Charities who work with their local hospitals, Air Ambulance services, and other NHS sites transporting medication, medical equipment, X-rays, scans, samples and human donor milk”.
