Ambulance bosses in hunt for volunteer responders

Service wants 'kind and compassionate people' for roles

- Sentinel Reporter

AMBULANCE service bosses have launched a new year recruitment drive for volunteer community first responders.

The volunteer CFRs are members of the public who have received medical training from West Midlands Ambulance Service.

They then respond - when available and in their own time without pay - to emergency 999 calls in both urban and rural areas.

They provide vital help in life-threatening situations, especially in some of the most serious cases such as a cardiac arrest and trauma, when every second counts.
