'the saving of lives'

This group has been set up to assist the Scottish Ambulance Service help save lives by or at least increase the quality of life by giving people urgent emergency assistance prior to the arrival of a 999 called ambulance. The group has been set up in coordination with the Scottish Ambulance Service where volunteers run and manage the group which is a stand-alone self-funded charity. A volunteer first responder can help not only the Scottish Ambulance Service but directly benefit their own community. A local first responder may be able to reach a friend, neighbour, or even a member of their own family within a few minutes of a call being received at the Ambulance Control Centre. They will dispatch the nearest ambulance and then contact the local first responder. He or she can be immediately on the scene, thereby providing a better chance of recovery for the patient. In addition we work with community groups to provide vital life saving training in CPR demos.

Objectives: The charitable objects of BATHGATE COMMUNITY FIRST RESPONDERS are to enable volunteer FIRST RESPONDERS to attend Pre-Emergency Ambulance Care interventions in accordance with their training for the benefit of the whole community.
