Welcome!Five Villages First Responders are celebrating our 20th Anniversary in April 2024
- join us on Sat 27th April at Methodist Hall, High Street, Misterton - for tea, coffee and cakes - plus a free CPR & Defibrillator awareness session. See here for details.
We are a team of
volunteer Community First Responders (CFRs) who live or work
within Misterton, Beckingham, Gringley on the Hill, Walkeringham, West Stockwith and surrounding areas in rural North Nottinghamshire. We work in partnership
and in support of East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) NHS Trust. Our team respond to life threatening emergency calls within
our area following a "999" call and are dispatched by EMAS when required. We provide assistance to people who are ill
or injured prior to the arrival of the emergency ambulance. Our CFR's are trained in life saving heart defibrillation,
resuscitation, oxygen therapy and to care for patients with medical conditions or injuries and can give vital care until the arrival of the ambulance crew. Since our launch in April 2004 we have attended over 3,200 emergency call outs. We also run a project to install Public Access Defibrillators into the villages in our area and to provide training in CPR & AED use to members of the community.
