Mayfield & Ellastone
Community First Responders

We were formed in 2002 and are now part of the West Midlands Ambulance Service. If a 999 call is made in our area we are contacted and are usually first on scene. Our trained responders can start treatment straight away but are always backed up by a professional paramedic and/or ambulance crew.

Our responders are the most advanced trained in the country. We can administer life saving drugs. Our vehicles carry equipment some of which is not found on ordinary ambulances from other Ambulance Trusts. We have the fastest response times in the country as we are based within the community. Some times our responders arrive on scene while the 999 call is still being made.

We have two vehicles both of which have been bought with funds raised by the local community. All responders are local villagers who know their area well.
