CRASH card campaign

The Trust has joined forces with the Highways Agency and launched a new potentially life-saving card called the CRASH card for motorcyclists. It will hold vital information about the rider to help ambulance clinicians treat riders involved in serious road traffic collisions.  For more information, click here.

To received a CRASH card, contact the Highways Agency on 0300 123 5000 .

Watch our short film

South East Coast Ambulance Service has come a long way - from a service that transported patients to hospital to one that now transports specialist treatment to the patient.  Click here to see our short DVD and let our staff show you what their work involves and tell you how you can get involved.

Could you be a responder for your community?

Community first responders are now playing a vital role in the emergency care we provide to the southeast of England. They are just ordinary members of the public who have been trained by the ambulance service to deliver life-saving skills in their local areas pending the arrival of an ambulance.

Responders are trained to give aspirin, oxygen and a hypostop gel for diabetics. They are also trained in how to use an EpiPen if an anaphylactic patient is unable to administer their own treatment.

If you would like to become a community first responder, please contact the Community Responder Team on 01273 897 861 or email: recruitment@secamb.nhs.uk
