Event first aid cover
St John
Ambulance is keen to provide first aid and ambulance aid for
all events, no matter how large or small, come rain or
shine.
We provide cover for a wide range of events from carnivals,
music festivals, motor sports, marathons and point to points
to fetes, fairs, pantomimes, shows and fun runs.
Wellington has a fleet of three ambulances which we use for
emergency response, treatment and transport as well as minor
treatment.
We also have a gazebo which we can use as a patient
treatment area at smaller duties where an ambulance wouldn't be
appropriate.
We often work
with other St John units to cover larger events an
example of this is carnivals, which often require in excess of 10
accident and emergency ambulances as well as first aid
units, rapid response and support units, which Somerset St John
Ambulance provides and crews.
Somerset St John Ambulance are about
to start a new
cycle response team. The cycle responders will allow us to
get full resuscitation equipment (including defibrillators) as well
as trained members to an emergency that an ambulance
cannot rapidly access. These units can be deployed in
areas where there are large crowds and narrow
lanes/paths that an ambulance can't easily access in an
emergency. The cycle response teams will have all the
equipment and skills needed to treat casualties until
ambulance crews can assist.
