COMMUNITY  FIRST RESPONDERS CAN SAVE LIVES!

           COULD YOU BE ONE OF A TEAM IN SHAP ?

• This is an incredibly rewarding scheme. 
• Responders could well end up saving someone’s life.  
• Many villages where schemes exist show great community spirit knowing that there are people there who could be lifesavers.
• Community First Responders (CFRs) live and work in local communities. 
• They are often able to get to patients quickly to give help and reassurance before paramedics arrive. 
• Volunteers do not need previous first aid experience to join their local group, as full training is provided. 
• Each volunteer makes themselves available on call to suit their personal circumstances. 
• They carry basic life saving equipment, and a simple to use Automated External Defibrillator (AED).

THERE IS ALREADY INTEREST FOR SETTING UP A TEAM IN SHAP
