Welcome
Welcome to the North West Ambulance Service Community First Responder Website.
Community First Responders are volunteers who give their time freely to help save lives in their community. Responders are everyday members of the general public who are trained in the use of Automated External Defibrillators and the treatment and control of a wide range of potentially life threatening conditions.
In cases of heart attack it has been identified that early intervention can result in a significant improvement in prognosis. First Responders provide support to the regular Ambulance Service by attending serious and life threatening 999 calls in and around the community to provide the earliest possible intervention for patients in the first few minutes until the arrival of an Ambulance.

Community Resuscitation Awareness Day in Poynton
The North-West Ambulance Service is to hold a special awareness open day in Poynton on community resuscitation.
The event will be held at Poynton Civic Centre, on Park Lane, on Saturday 28th January 10.00-16.00 and has been organised by the Trust in conjunction with St John Ambulance and Poynton Town Council.
Attendees will learn how to give basic life support and use a defibrillator on someone suffering from cardiac arrest taught by trained paramedics.
There will also be the opportunity to find out more and sign-up to the trust’s Community First Responder (CFR) teams. The teams play a voluntary role in supporting the trust’s services throughout the north-west.
