Objectives and activities
We are volunteers who have been trained by the Scottish Ambulance
Senlice to respond to medical emergencies in our local area whilst an
ambulance is on it's way. The area we cover is Balmedie, Belhelvie,
Blackdog, Potterton and Whitecairns in Aberdeenshire.
We officially started responding on Saturday 3rd of March 2018.
Our stated goals are:
a) To enable volunteer First Responders to provide defibrillation,
CPR and other life-saving interventions in accordance with their
training.
b) To work in partnership with the Scottish Ambulance Service to
select, train and provide assessments for volunteer first
responders throughout the Belhelvie Area.
c) To aim to provide early life saving intervention where an
emergency ambulan￿ is unavailable or unable to reach the
casualty within a reasonable response time.
d) To aim to provide first responder cover 365 days a year in the
communities where a first response scheme is in operation.
e) To raise awareness of the need to establish the 'Chain of
Survival, through early intervention as a means of increasing the
chances of saving life.

Future plans
We plan to hold regular CPR / Defibrillator l First Aid awareness
sessions in 3 or 4 venues in the local area throughout the calendar
year, in the hope to dispel any inhibitions the public may have using
PADS.
Through maintaining existing CFR member's skill set and public
interaction we hope to strengthen the team further and recruit more
members.
Our main fundraising focus for 2020 1202112022, will be for Public
Access Defibrillators, with the aim of having at least 1 defibrillator in
each village whilst maintaining existing PADS.
