As soon as we have enough information and have established you require emergency attention, we will send help to you.
We can respond in a number of different ways:
Life-Threatening Emergencies
In life-threatening emergencies people often expect an ambulance with two people to arrive but you could also be treated by one of our rapid response Paramedics who
arrive by car.
If you live in a very rural area, the first person to arrive may be a first responder. A first responder is a member of the public who has been trained to provide
life-saving treatment to people in their local communities while an ambulance is on the way.
Non Life-Threatening Emergencies
In a non life-threatening emergency you may also be treated by a rapid response Paramedic or an ambulance crew. In some cases, you may not be required to be
transported to Hospital following assessment.
