Our Story
The UCC CRT answers an unmet need in the Cork community: there is a distinct lack of community first responders within Cork City, and an over-burdened ambulance service. CRTs all over Ireland serve to respond faster to cardiac arrests, with the goal of increasing the chance of survival for the patient in question. CFR schemes function by linking in and registering with the National Ambulance Service. The NAS switchboard links calls to the response team phone, allowing the team on duty to respond to the same call as the ambulances.
We are Ireland’s first student-led and student-run community first responder team. Since our live date, students from other universities around Ireland have reached out, wanting support and ideas for how to start their own schemes. We hope that in time there will be a team like ours in every university in Ireland.
