Donation protected
Ashfield First Responders (CFR’s) are members of the community who volunteer to respond to emergency calls through the 999 system in conjunction with the East Midlands Ambulance Service. Community First Responders provide care to patients in their local areas whilst awaiting the arrival of an Ambulance or Paramedic
LOCAL SUPPORT
The Community First Responders undertake life saving support before the Ambulance arrives, further increasing the patient’s chance of survival.
In an ideal world there would be an Ambulance available on every street corner in each town or village. This is not the case and is why the Community First Responders can make such a difference, espacially in rural areas.
