FIRST RESPONDER TRAINING

PITLOCHRY FIRST RESPONDERS

ASSIST THE SCOTTISH AMBULANCE SERVICE

Volunteers Are Trained by the SAS To Attend Certain Types Of Emergency Calls In Their Local Area.

The Ambulance Control Centre (ACC) deploys the on-duty PCFR via radio and the Responders' aim is to reach a potential life-threatening local emergency in the first vital minutes, before the ambulance crew arrives

The role of the First Responder is to help stabilise the patient and provide the appropriate care until the more highly-skilled ambulance crew arrives on scene to take over the treatment

Responders are based in rural communities where ambulance crews have longer distances to travel to a patient
