Roadside critical care with motorcycle injury prevention. Saving bikers lives with your support! The DocBike charity combines a highly qualified (consultant level) doctor or critical care paramedic with two wheels to reduce deaths and serious injuries on our roads due to motorcycle collisions. Where possible, this doctor or paramedic also works on their local air ambulance, as it is part of their job to treat and save the most severely injured and sick patients. When motorcyclists are involved in a collision, often their injuries are catastrophic and no amount of medical care can save a person's life. This is why a lot of the charity's time is invested in preventing motorcyclists from being in a collision in the first place. Working together with emergency services across the UK, it is our aim to have a DocBike associated with every air ambulance charity around the country. With thanks to the enthusiasm of bikers, colleagues in the emergency services and other agencies, we are expanding across the UK. It costs approximately £50,000 to put a DocBike on the road. With your commitment, support and enthusiasm, we can make this possible for more regions across the UK, thank you!

You do not need to be a researcher to contribute.
Your questions and experiences can help us decide what to study, how to involve people and how to share what we learn.

We welcome riders, families and people affected by motorcycle collisions, including those whose voices are often missing from research.

Built on collaboration. - Focused on useful evidence.
MIPnet grew from collaboration between DocBike and the research team at Dorset County Hospital, supported by Wessex Health Partners and the Wessex Experimental Medicine Network.

Our steering group brings clinical, academic, transport and rider perspectives together. Dr Ian Mew chairs the network; founding co-lead Sarah Doyle now provides governance on behalf of Dorset County Hospital as sponsor.

Understanding the problem. Finding ways to change it.
These figures show why better evidence is needed now. They tell us how much harm is happening, but cannot tell us on their own which changes would prevent the most injuries.

MIPnet brings riders, clinicians and researchers together to understand how collisions happen, follow their consequences through care and recovery, and identify where prevention could make the greatest difference. We want to turn that understanding into practical action, keeping the freedom and enjoyment of riding at the heart of our work.

DocBike is run entirely by volunteers! Motorcyclists and members of the public like you! All passionate about motorcycling and keeping motorcyclists on two wheels.

We’re a very friendly bunch who are always looking for more help to man stands at bike events or use their specialist skills to help the charity run and therefore help save biker’s lives.
We are currently looking for a Lead for our Staffordshire Region.
Someone who can relinquish the Mantle from Carol, Luke's mum.

DocBike Staffordshire is led by Luke’s mum Carol. The enthusiasm and backing of family, friends, colleagues and the local motorcycle community makes this region a real success. They are presently leading the way with their fundraising and community engagement. There is a huge amount of professional knowledge within their volunteer sector i.e. how and why bike crashes happen in Staffordshire, how to avoid being knocked off your bike and how to become a more skilful rider.

Our thanks go to Staffordshire Police for supporting the charity and helping Luke’s name to live on by donating the motorcycle and supporting the charity in this way.

For more information about DocBike in the Staffordshire area and how you can get involved, email: [email protected]

A collision changes more than one life.
Motorcycling brings freedom, enjoyment and connection. Yet riders bear a disproportionate share of the harm on our roads. In Great Britain in 2025, motorcycles accounted for around 1% of traffic, but 25% of road deaths.

386 riders and passengers were killed, and an estimated 5,710 were seriously injured in reported collisions. Behind these figures are people, families and communities. The consequences can extend far beyond hospital care, affecting recovery, relationships, employment and independence.
