These schemes provide an emergency response to life threatening incidents including stroke, heart attack and cardiac arrest in the vital first few minutes prior to Ambulance arrival.
Volunteers are alerted through the National Ambulance Service who provide support and advice to schemes alongside CFR Ireland. Volunteers are provided full training, equipment and support.
