By Adam Richardson
The Isle of Wight Ambulance Service has welcomed four new Community First Responders (CFR) to its team - with more due to join the service in the coming weeks.
After several months of training and undertaking skill drills the new CFRs - who are all volunteers - are now ready to respond for their local community. They are fully equipped ready to attend life-threatening emergencies as deployed by the IOW Ambulance Service.
THE Isle of Wight NHS Trust Ambulance Service has announced four new volunteer Community First Responders (CFR), with more to join the response team in the coming weeks. After several months of training and undertaking skill drills the new CFRs are now ready to respond for their local community. Volunteer Community First Responders (CFRs) use their own cars, no blue lights or sirens but being local means they can be on scene with a patient in just a few minutes. Iain Reeves, paramedic community response performance support officer, said: It has been a privilege to assist the new CFRs with their learning journey to become responders.
