Our volunteers may be the first responders you see when you ring for an ambulance when you recognise someone has had a stroke.

They are there to reassure you and gather information for the clinicians prior to the arrival of an ambulance.

They will take the patients story and carry out a series of observations, such as heart rate and blood pressure. These can then be shared with our remote clinicians in our control centre for further early advice on your care.
