East Neuk First Responders
Elie & Earlsferry Community Council made a Participation Request to the Scottish Ambulance Service which sought to increase the number of trained Community First Responders in the East Neuk of Fife through the provision of local training.
Through extension of Community First Responder call categories, the Participation Request sought to enable the Community First Responders to attend Immediately Life-Threatening calls (ILTs) for which they are trained and willing to attend. This would support a move announced by the Scottish Ambulance Service in June 2022, towards a more flexible model with a tiered level of Responders. The Participation Request was submitted on 8 August 2024.
