❄️ Who our severe weather support is for ❄️

We’ve had a few people asking who our free severe weather welfare support is designed to help, so here’s a little clarity.

This service is for genuine welfare concerns where cold weather and poor travel conditions are putting people at risk, especially:

• Older people
• Those living alone
• People with long-term health conditions
• Anyone unable to safely access help due to the weather

It’s there to support, not replace, emergency services or routine care.

If someone is in immediate danger, always call 999.
For urgent, non-emergency welfare concerns during severe weather:

📞 0333 335 6025
🕗 08:00 – 22:00

🚑 What our severe weather support can help with

Our teams in all-wheel-drive response vehicles are offering non-emergency welfare and urgent clinical support during the current severe weather.

We can help with situations such as:

• Welfare checks when someone cannot be contacted
• Falls where the person cannot get up but is not critically injured
• Urgent medication needs that cannot safely wait

What we’re not able to provide:
Routine care visits, transport runs, or general cover for staffing gaps.

This service exists to prevent unnecessary ambulance call-outs and help keep vulnerable people safe when conditions are difficult.

🟠 AMBER WEATHER WARNING – West Midlands 🟠

The Met Office has issued an amber weather warning for parts of the Midlands, with heavy snow expected from tonight and into Friday, bringing dangerous travelling conditions and disruption.

West Midlands Ambulance Service has asked the public to only call 999 in a genuine life-threatening emergency, so their teams can reach those most in need.

In support of this, Marches Ambulance Service is offering free, non-emergency welfare and urgent clinical support during the severe weather period to help protect vulnerable people and reduce unnecessary pressure on emergency services.

This support is for genuine welfare concerns, such as:
• Welfare checks when someone cannot be contacted
• Falls where the person cannot get up but is not critically injured
• Urgent medication needs that cannot safely wait

📞 How to request support
Please call 0333 335 6025
(We are unable to monitor Facebook messages for urgent requests.)

🕗 Service hours: 08:00 – 22:00

This is a goodwill community initiative. There is no charge. Voluntary donations are welcomed but never expected.

If a situation is life-threatening, please call 999 immediately.

Stay safe, travel only if you must, and look out for those who may be struggling in the cold. ❄️🚑

🎄 A short Christmas pause… before we’re back on duty 🚑

As Christmas arrives, the Marches Ambulance Service team will be taking a few well-earned days to rest, recharge, and spend time with family.

That said, our on-call team remains available throughout the Christmas period, ready to support any urgent requirements if needed.

We’ll be straight back at Hereford FC on Boxing Day, boots on the ground and ready to go.

To everyone we’ve worked alongside this year, event organisers, clubs, partners, and supporters, thank you for the trust you place in us. Looking after people when it matters most is a responsibility we never take lightly.

Wishing you all a safe, peaceful Christmas and a very Happy New Year from all of us at Marches Ambulance Service.

Event Medical Managers: Clear Leadership When It Matters

Good event medical cover relies on clear leadership, not just clinical skill.

At Marches Ambulance Service, our Event Medical Managers are easy to identify on site. They wear orange epaulettes, making them immediately recognisable to:
• The medical team
• Event organisers
• Other agencies
• Members of the public who need help

That visibility matters. In a busy or pressured environment, people shouldn’t have to guess who’s in charge.

Our Medical Managers are also clinicians in their own right, drawn from a range of grades, from experienced First Responders through to Paramedics, all with extensive backgrounds in event medical cover. This means leadership is grounded in real, hands-on experience of the environment they’re managing.

But the role goes far beyond wearing a different colour.

Our Event Medical Managers act as a single point of contact, linking:
• Event organisers
• On-site medical teams
• Off-site operations managers
• On-call clinicians, including consultants and specialists
• Ambulance services
• Receiving hospitals

They oversee patient flow through on-site medical centres, manage team deployment across the site, and ensure the right resources are in the right place at the right time.

This structure reduces confusion, improves communication, and allows clinical staff to focus on patient care, knowing there is clear, experienced oversight in place.

It’s one of the quieter ways we protect patients, support our teams, and give event organisers confidence that medical care on site is being managed properly.

This is part of what we mean when we talk about the Marches difference.

🎅 Supporting a Fantastic Local Cause 🎅
Our team were pleased to be on duty providing medical cover at the St Michael's Hospice - Hereford Santa Run.

It is always a privilege to support such an incredible local charity, and to see so many people taking part to raise vital funds. Events like this highlight the strength of the community and the impact that collective effort can have for those who need it most.

Well done to everyone who took part, and thank you to St Michael’s Hospice for the important work you continue to do.
