First Responder Update

We have now obtained our certificates from Warwickshire Ambulance Service and our able to offer a First Responder service for the local area at night and in the evenings.  Warwickshire Ambulance Service has asked us to act as coordinators for trying to set up a Responder Service to cover daytime as well.  We will be able to give further information on this after we have attended a coordinators meeting arranged for a date in November.

As you are aware, living in the country means that it can take quite a long time for an ambulance to reach us.  This is much too long if someone has had a heart attack and needs to be resuscitated. We, as First Responders, will be called by the ambulance service and will be able to attend the patient in a much shorter time and give assistance until the ambulance arrives.  There is evidence that since First Responders have been used the number of patients being revived after suffering a heart attack has improved from 2% to 22%.

We need to provide all our own equipment including a defibrillator, which will cost about £3000.  We would be grateful if anyone would like to contribute towards this personal expense.

If you would like any further information about this please contact Mick on 07976298228 or Email: viper@viperrecovery.co.uk
