Scottish Ambulance Service Community Resilience

22/11/2025

In October we received almost 62,000 emergency calls.

We treated more than half of these without taking patients to hospital through our clinical hub, management on scene, and alternative pathways.

Please use our services wisely and call NHS 24 on 111 for anything that isn't life-threatening 💚

Well done team 👏🏼

This evening we were honoured to receive the King Charles III Coronation Medal presented by Earle Wilson Community Resilience Team Leader Scottish Ambulance Service, in recognition of our Volunteer Service. Presented to Rupert, Adrian, Andy, Carolyn, Mhairi. Medals were also awarded to Kirsty, Teresa and Maralyn who could not attend the presentation.

‼️ Weather warnings have been issued for snow and ice, with widespread reports of hazardous road conditions and closures across Scotland ❄️

In light of this, we would like to stress the importance of prioritising your safety. Please make sure your vehicle is prepared for winter driving, and avoid taking unnecessary risks when responding to call outs.

Your role in supporting your community is invaluable, but your own safety & wellbeing must always come first.

Thank you for your continued commitment and dedication.

Stay safe!

The Galloway group hopes to assist in the "vital first few minutes" before ambulance crews arrive.

We were out and about yesterday in Perth and Aberdeen with a fantastic response from the public to the CPR sessions. We even managed to sneak on the evening news

We've been travelling far and wide last week. Some of the team have been up in Shetland training new CFRs and updating our current CFRs. A busy week indeed and we have added more Community Cardiac Responders to the national pool of responders as well. Great effort by all and thanks for the warm welcome.
