A huge well done to one of our latest groups of Community First Responders, who successfully completed their training this weekend! 🥳

Even better, this fantastic team will be the very first responders in our newly established Dunfermline CFR scheme. Their enthusiasm, teamwork and commitment have shone through from the very start.

The group will be going live very soon and we’re excited to see the difference they’ll make in their community.

Congratulations & welcome to the Scottish Ambulance Service🥳💚
