YFW operates from Yeovil District Hospital (YDH) and Dorset County Hospital (DCH),
Dorchester, providing a 24-hour service to deliver a fast, safe and effective emergency
medical courier capability throughout the South-West, serving hospitals, hospices, care and
nursing homes, laboratories and patients discharged to their own homes. YFW carries
urgently needed blood and blood products, blood samples, biopsies, MRI scans, X-rays,
prescription drugs, a variety of medical equipment and patient notes.
The service is provided free of charge to the NHS. YFW relies entirely on volunteers
and public donation to conduct its activities. Every penny raised goes to running the Charity
and no member of the Charity is paid for their services. High priority is given to fundraising,
service promotion and teamwork to ensure the delivery of a reliable, valued and professional
service to the NHS and the community.
