About us

St John Ambulance in Chelmsford was formed in 1927, and is still serving the community and the public to keep everyone safe.

In 2008 we carried out 12,128 hours of voluntary work of which 6,940 were first aid hours. 527 casualties were treated, 301 accident and emergency or urgent patients were transported in the ambulances and the vehicles covered 11,905 miles. Altogether 250 events were attended.

Today

Currently, there are a number of volunteers within Chelmsford.

Members include:

• medical students
• paramedics
• student paramedics
• ambulance care assistants
• paramedic science students
• student nurses 
• part time professional ambulance crew for St John Ambulance
• multi discipline voluntary trainers 
• student voluntary first aid trainers
• professional and voluntary first aid assessors 
• part time professional first aid trainer

We also have voluntary patient transport attendants and voluntary emergency transport attendants. Some members have multiple roles such as both voluntary and professional ambulance crews.

We would like to expand further, so that we can meet more requests for our services. So we are always seeking new volunteers.
