If you or someone you know suffers a life threatening event
and dials 999 the ambulance service will despatch a Community First Responder in addition to the ambulance.
Community
First Responders do not replace the ambulance but live in your community and can deliver live saving treatment before
the ambulance arrives.
Locally there are Community First Responder teams in Alfriston, Hassocks, Peacehaven, Newhaven and
Seaford. Between them they have answered thousands of calls and have helped save many lives.
In conjunction
with South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Trust (SECAmb) a new team has been established in Lewes and this
site is the online meeting point for its members, supporters and anyone else who is interested in the scheme.
As
our group is small we are looking for new members so if you would like to join or support us then please contact
mike@lewescfr.org.uk
We need people:-
With cars to train and become Community First Responders so
we can help the people in the BN7 area
To help us to raise funds for responder kits, logistic and training materials
To provide logistical help
Teach emergency life saving skills to the comminity and to increase public awareness.
Please look at the about page where you will discover what Community First Responders do and why they are so important
to the community.
