Today on Morning Focus, we were joined in studio by Padraig Lordan, Ennis based Paramedic and Mark Callanan, Community Engagement Officer, National Ambulance Service, Western Region as the Ruan/Dysart Community first response group was launched this month.
Community groups such as those can have a huge impact in saving lives in areas, particularly when ambulance cover is stretched. They do excellent work and the organisers in Ruan/Dysart are keen to demonstrate how important they can be. If any community group is interested in setting up a Community First Responder group in their area, you can email Mark on cfr.west@hse.ie
