A Community First Responder (CFR), is a trained volunteer who can be dispatched by ambulance control to attend 999 medical calls on behalf of the East of England Ambulance NHS Trust

When a person/patient faces a medical or life threatening emergency, every second counts, a Community First Responder can make a vital difference

First Responders in the Aylsham area are trained volunteers who give up their spare time to be dispatched by Ambulance Control to certain 999 calls and provide on-scene emergency care to people in their own community

When a emergency 999 call is made, First Responders are alerted by ambulance control and are sent to certain types of calls at the same time as an ambulance so they can provide essential care until the Ambulance crew reaches the scene

The volunteers are trained by the East of England Ambulance Service and are able to administer first aid skills, oxygen therapy, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of a defibrillator (AED)
