BRADMORE VOLUNTEER EMERGENCY TELEPHONE SYSTEM (V.E.T.S.)

Your V.E.T.S. number is: 0115 8240 848

What is V.E.T.S.?

• V.E.T.S. is designed to provide urgent assistance for people in the village.
• V.E.T.S. is a community-run system and enables up to 10 “good neighbours” to assist pending the arrival of the emergency services.
• A local number is used as a single point of contact using "Hunting-Group" technology to ring all volunteers phone numbers simultaneously.
• The system can be used for any emergency where additional help is required from neighbours.
• In the event of an emergency always dial 999 first, then either dial the V.E.T.S. number below or ask if your 999 call handler can call it on your behalf (this is at their discretion) and a volunteer will come to assist you.

If the emergency involves cardiac arrest you may be told to access a defibrillator by the Ambulance service. The neighbour responding via V.E.T.S. can assist. Your nearest defibrillator is located in the red telephone kiosk on Main Street. The defibrillator itself will guide you through all the steps required to operate it.

For help in a non-emergency situation please use the village WhatsApp group.
