About Blood Bikes Scotland

Saving lives through voluntary medical transport

Who They Are
A free, 24/7 voluntary medical transport service

The four Blood Bike groups operating across Scotland were established to provide a free-of-charge, professional, rapid-response medical transport service for NHS Scotland. Their purpose is defined in NABB's constitution as "the advancement of health and the saving of lives."

They deliver blood, blood products, specimens, medications including controlled drugs, documents, and smaller pieces of medical equipment between NHS sites, patients' homes, and care facilities across Scotland - 365 days a year, in all weathers.

As a 100% volunteer-based charity, all funds raised go directly to purchasing and running their fleets of high-visibility motorcycles and cars. They have saved the NHS several million pounds since their formation.
