YAS CFR, North Yorkshire and The Dales Investing in Volunteers - Proud to be accredited

We achieved the UK quality standard for good practice in supporting volunteers.

For further information visit: https://iiv.investinginvolunteers.org.uk/ The Community First Responder (CFR) scheme is a life-saving partnership between Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust (YAS) and local communities. As authorised volunteers for YAS, Community First Responders form teams located in communities across Yorkshire as part of a wider initiative which aims to help reduce the number of pre-hospital deaths in Yorkshire. New recruits will join hundreds of volunteers living in local communities across the region who are trained to provide life-saving treatment to residents in their area in the vital first minutes of an emergency until our ambulance clinicians arrive. YAS is committed to providing the high quality services to and care to all those living in, or passing through, Yorkshire and this initiative undoubtedly helps to achieve this. North Yorkshire

Day 1 of March's course, thanks to Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service for the use of their training venue.

Its amazing how moving out of the classroom, to a different room can change so much, yet this is valuable training ensuring CFRs are confident to respond with in their communities.

Ensuring they consolidated all they had learnt on Day1 of their 4 Day CFR course.

North is always hard to recruit due to grass, sheep and fields upon fields, these last few months we have had a steady flow of new volunteers. Sadly, this month has seen a lull.

Do you have 20 hours you could be on call ready to respond if needed?

Could you support your communities in their hours of need?

We will give you a 4Day, course (over weekends)

On Line eLearning package.

dedicated Team Leader to look after you.

Today is the best day of my job.

A group of individuals from ALL walks of life, who 2 weekends ago, walked in to a room with different levels of knowledge, have all just walked out as CFRs in support of Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust.

I Love my Job ❤️

Thanks to North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service for the use of their training room at Colburn Fire Station.
