Medical & Emergency Response Team
Welcome to our page
MERT were set up in 2017 by constitution as a non-profit organisation Medical & Emergency Response Team became a register Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation in 2021.
The team aims to provide trained volunteers capable of delivering support to communities and the agencies serving them during incidents or adverse weather. We also support Inverness town centre through BID Inverness and our Operation Respect partner agencies keeping people safe at busy weekends.
To enable this we provide event first aid and medical cover at music, marathons, sports and community events which allows us to practice many of the skills utilised during incident response.
We can also provide additional first aid training to local communities and groups.
UPDATE 04 Feb 2025
Out of the 150 charities that applied we made the top three for Highlands and Islands. The charity with the most votes will be supported by the P&J for the rest of the year.
It was a close run thing but congratulations to Abbie’s Sparkle Foundation who got the most votes in our category. Many thanks to all our supporters who took time to vote for us. It's great that MERTs work is known by so many.
