CFR is a private neighbourhood emergency response service designed to support people while they wait for 999 ambulance care. We do not replace the NHS or emergency services. We help bridge the critical gap between the emergency call and professional ambulance arrival.
Community First Responder: When Minutes Matter
Call 999 first. Then call CFR.
Where available, our trained responders aim to attend rapidly with an AED, oxygen, first aid equipment and access to your emergency information profile.
In a cardiac emergency, every minute matters for the patient.
Why Community First Responder?
