Five Villages First Responders - Misterton
Welcome to Five Villages First Responders.
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 & North Lincolnshire. 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 3,500 emergency call outs. We also run a project to support the installation of Public Access Defibrillators into the villages in our area and provide awareness session in CPR & AED use to members of the community.2024 was our 20th Anniversary year - see here for details of our celebrations.
