Medic First Responders

When an emergency 999 call is made, the pace at which qualified medical professionals arrive on the scene can be pivotal. In some cases, it can be the difference between survival and a fatality.

A rapid response is needed.

It won’t wait That’s where LIVES Medic Responders come in. They’re trained doctors, nurses and paramedics, but beyond that, they also give up their time for free to respond for LIVES. Because for people like them, the dedication to saving life, doesn’t end when their shift does. It’s inherent. They’re hard wired to do it. It’s who they are.

All our Medic First Responders are fully supported by LIVES. We provide them with specialist equipment. Access to advanced training, so they can further their skills. Everything needed to perform complex medical procedures, wherever and whenever they’re called upon, including:

• Supporting the patient with ambulance crews to hospital, to enable some treatments to continue enroute.
