Busy Year in 2023 for First Responder Team

Martyn Johnson • January 15, 2024

Over two hundred emergency medical calls attended in 2023

Our team were busy in 2023. A very big thank you to all of our volunteer Community First Responders and to all those who help behind the scenes. During 2023 members of the Five Villages First Responders team were called to 236 medical emergencies in the local area in support of East Midlands Ambulance Service. This included 39 breathing problems, 12 seizures, 16 cardiac arrests, 24 chest pains, 38 falls, 7 traumatic injuries, 8 strokes and 19 unconscious/collapse calls.

Thank you also to local residents, organisations and businesses - without their support we could not continue the work that we do in the local community.
