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 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 reduce response times and provide the earliest possible intervention for patients..
