Red Horse Vale Community First Responders is made up of a group of volunteers whose purpose is to provide emergency medical care until the ambulance service resource arrives on scene. The responders are trained by West Midlands Ambulance Service to provide emergency medical aid to people living and working in the local community.
The team currently comprises of six operational CFRs, one of whom is also the Scheme Coordinator, and four non-responding members who cover the roles of Chairperson, Events Coordinator, Secretary, Treasurer and Training Co-Ordinator.
It is important to understand that we do not replace the ambulance service, but we are able to provide necessary support and assistance until their arrival.
