Bransgore Community First Responders

A life threatening emergency occurs, perhaps a collapse, chest pains or breathing difficulties, serious bleeding or fractures, a person unconscious after a fall, or suffering burns. A 999 call is made for the ambulance.

Ambulance control room staff assess the call and despatch an emergency ambulance.

At the same time the on-call Community First Responder is alerted by mobile phone and pager and makes their way to the scene.

The Community First Responder arrives within minutes equipped and able to assist until the arrival of the ambulance.
