New CFR groups in Essex and Cambs

Two new community first responder groups in Cardea, Peterborough and Harlow, Essex have started responding to patients, after going live at the beginning of the month. 

The volunteers in Cardea received funding from the Cardea Residents Association and the group is currently made up of co-ordinator Alex, Kelvin, Charlotte and Emma.  

Another training course is planned for January where another three people are due to join the group. 

The Harlow group was launched on Thursday, 6th November with three members. 

Chief Executive Anthony Marsh said: “CFRs are vital to local communities and I would like to welcome these new volunteers to EEAST and to thank them for giving up their time to respond to patients in their area.”
