Forth Valley First Responders

Forth Valley First Responders Forth Valley First Responders are volunteers trained by The Scottish Ambulance Service to attend 999 emergencies before the arrival of an Ambulance.

The Resuscitation Council (UK) states that a First Responder is β€œa person, trained as a minimum in basic life support and the use of a defibrillator, who attends a potentially life-threatening emergency.”

A Community First Responder is a local volunteer who agrees to undertake training in Basic Life Support, This then enables them to provide life saving treatment to those people within the community who are critically ill, in the first few minutes prior to the arrival of an ambulance.

Did you know a number of our First Responders provide additional commitment to The Scottish Ambulance Service by responding to the most life threatening of emergency calls when off duty? πŸš‘

Through the Goodsam Responders App we are setup on a specific staff profile which notifies us of purple coded emergency calls within a 10 kilometre radius πŸ—ΊοΈ

This may result in us arriving at the scene of an emergency in civilian clothing as clearly whilst off duty we aren’t in uniform! We will always identify ourselves on arrival ❀️

A huge thank you to Stenhousemuir Primary School PTA for their donation for all the work our charity, and particularly Martin in our team does, with Public Access Defibrillators across NHS Forth Valley.

We would like to say a huge thank you to the Forth Valley First Responders for providing the defibrillator once again. We are incredibly grateful for the vital work you do, and to show our appreciation we have made a Β£500 donation to the charity. Your continued support helps to keep our school and wider community safer, and we truly value the difference you make in helping and protecting others.
