In a groundbreaking trial aimed at enhancing patient care, two teams of volunteer Emergency Responders (ERs) have been instrumental in responding to hundreds of critically ill patients over the past year.
Operating under the South East Coast Ambulance Service’s (SECAmb) initiative, the first team commenced operations from SECAmb’s Ashford operating unit in Kent in February 2023, focusing primarily on the Romney Marsh area. Meanwhile, the second team, stationed in Crawley and Horsham in West Sussex, commenced operations in March 2023.
