Recipient Org: Description | Our vision: “To provide an effective well known and respected 24 hour service to the local community through the effort of local committed volunteers who are regarded as the most professional CFR group within the East of England Ambulance Service South East Division" Community first responders (CFR) are now playing a vital role in the emergency care provided in the East of England. They are just ordinary members of the public who have been trained by the ambulance service to deliver life-saving skills in their local areas pending the arrival of an ambulance. Our responders mainly attend priority red (alpha) calls and must be able to leave their home or work place as soon as they are received, in a similar way to which retained fire fighters RNLI crews or other volunteer emergency services operate. Not a huge amount of time is required as a volunteer, as normal life can go on while a responder is on call. The concept of Community First Responders originated in America through work undertaken by Dr Richard Cummins. He discovered that if a series of events took place in a set sequence, a patient suffering a cardiac arrest had a greater chance of survival. These events are known as the ‘Chain of Survival’. If the Ambulance Service can send a Community First Responder who is trained in basic life support, in using a defibrillator, administering oxygen and with first aid skills, to a collapsed patient within three to four minutes, that patient’s chances of survival will increase by 10% for every minute that the Community First Responder is there prior to the arrival of the Ambulance crew. Canvey Island Community First Responders currently operate using one set of equipment (kit) enabling one responder to be on call at any one time. We work to support the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST). |
