context_page_description: The West Midlands Central Accident, Resuscitation & Emergency team is a charitable organisation who respond to serious medical incidents within the West Midlands, UK. Working in teams alongside West Midlands Ambulance Service, volunteer doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals deliver enhanced critical care to seriously injured and unwell patients.
  The charitable aims of the organisation are the relief of persons suffering injury or illness by the provision of immediate medical care and advancing the study of immediate medical care by the provision of training and research.
context_section_description: Each team responding on behalf of the West Midlands CARE Team consists of three to four personnel, all of whom are volunteers.  Most personnel work in NHS hospitals in their day-to-day professional life, volunteering spare time to respond with the charity. The organisation's approach focusses on collaborative working with the doctors, nurses and paramedics all coming together as a team. They usually wear distinctive protective clothing with red shoulders, and a fluorescent yellow body and green legs with reflective stripes.
