Alveley Community First Responders

Who We Help, Why We Help & the Difference It Makes

What We Do

Whilst we are not a traditional service in that service users come direct to us for support (we are contacted via the 999 service) we provide a vital service in those critical minutes between an incident occurring and the ambulance service being able to attend the scene.

When a 999 call is made to the West Midlands Ambulance Service ( WMAS) , if the nature of the emergency is suitable for our CFRs to attend and we are the nearest available resource to the location, we are asked to respond by the ambulance control staff. Carrying the equipment we are trained for and supplied with, we attend the location in our scheme vehicle. Once with the patient we will assess their condition, and begin treatment if necessary to the level of our training, whilst waiting for the arrival of the nearest full time WMAS ambulance resource.
