Mission:
To attend, when directed, serious medical emergencies where life may be at risk and to support and preserve life until the arrival of the ambulance.
Vision:1. To operate a credible Community First Responder scheme, to support the ambulance service response, operated for the benefit of the community, by unpaid volunteers, - and to do so on a 24 hour basis where possible.
2. To work closely with South Central Ambulance Service to implement their proposals to further the quality and scope of community first responder schemes
3. To raise vital funds, increase the group profile and recruit additional volunteers by holding fund raising events, offering talks to community groups and interested parties, operating a website and attending fetes and functions when invited.
Values:1. We will be professional in our dealings with all we are in contact with, treating them courteously, compassionately and fairly, respecting their dignity and maintaining confidentiality.
2. We will seek to improve awareness of health related issues in the communities we serve, by promoting current heart health and stroke awareness campaigns and ambulance service public awareness campaigns generally.
3. We will use money raised from the resident community towards vital medical equipment and items needed to ensure the care and well being of those we are called to.
4. We will identify other items and equipment considered highly desirable and actively seek sponsorship and support from local companies & individuals and grant funding where appropriate, to finance them. Any items of equipment identified that are over and above that which is recommended by the Ambulance Trust, will be discussed within the Scheme and with the Trust Liaison and Training Officer. This is to ensure that donated monies are only used for equipment that is appropriate for the objects of the Scheme.
