First responders needed

A call has gone out for volunteers in Brecon to step forward and provide vital first response care for their friends and neighbours.

The Welsh Ambulance Service is looking to set up a Community First Responder Team to cover Brecon and the surrounding area.
The new venture is designed to give people the skills and tools needed to begin life-saving treatment before an emergency vehicle can arrive at the scene. In rural areas such as Powys, these teams are vital is getting lifesaving care to the people that need it, fast.

The scheme has the full support of the Brecknock and Radnor Community Health Council.
