Community First Responders

Community First Responders

We need your help!

A new Community First Responder scheme under the control of Staffordshire Ambulance Service is planned for Fulford, Meir Heath, Hilderstone and the surrounding areas.

Training is due to start in April 2008 with the Staffordshire Ambulance Service and will take place one evening each week for about 9 months, on completion of the training the volunteers will respond to 999 calls received by the Ambulance Service.

This new Community First Responder group will receive 999 calls made to the Ambulance service and they will be able to arrive on scene before the Ambulance crews, the improved response time of the First Responders will save lives and suffering as they can render vital medical assistance.

The Community First Responders are a voluntary service and help will be required with fund raising for the purchase of the Responder car and to equip the car to the required standard with life saving equipment.

There is still time to join this scheme, so if you can get involved with the scheme in any way, be it as a First Responder or fund raising please get in touch.
