Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

For the period that this report covers, the volunteers at the charity were tasked to respond to multiple incidents.

At present the recording system in use has not been approved formally by the North West Ambulance Service for recording patient data. This has resulted in interventions not being recorded.

Research has demonstrated that 12% of deaths before hospital are potentially preventable and there is also likely to be a reduction in hospital in-patient stay and long-term morbidity.

The model of care used by the charity is in keeping with the national model and as a result a reduction in mortality and morbidity is likely.
