9. Carol Close - Turning tragedy into positivity with DocBike, Staffs Police & dedicated healthcare professionals.
Our guest this episode is the regional lead for DocBike Staffordshire (#lukeslegacy) Carol Close. She campaigns vigorously for Biker safety throughout the midlands and is very grateful for the support offered from Staffordshire police and the healthcare professional who work with the charity. First and foremost however, she is a Mum who is coming to terms with the tragic loss of her Son Luke in a motorcycle accident in August 2019 age 28.
The DocBike charity combines highly qualified doctors or critical care paramedics with two wheels to reduce deaths and serious injuries on our roads due to motorcycle collisions. Wherever possible, this doctor or paramedic also works on the local air ambulance. It is part of their every-day job, to treat and save the most severely injured and sick patients and help them to reach hospital alive.
