The Community CPR Trust is a community, resuscitation service, which operates nationally. Our basic remit is to save lives and we accomplish this to a number of interrelated activities. Our organisation is completely volunteer operated and is divided into a number of different projects and one commercial division. These projects are realigned from time to time, and currently consists of Community Defibrillators, Community Education. The commercial division develops and retails resuscitation supplies, this is the principal funding source for our activities.Our volunteer clinicians provide a community based resuscitation service, which is able to respond to cardiac arrest calls and other incidents. This is accomplished by equipping these clinicians with the required equipment, specifically defibrillators, trauma kits and airway equipment, in line with their clinical skill level. These clinicians volunteers are “activated” principally through the GoodSAM app. We have 1 fully kitted our response vehicle and a cycle response unit will be coming online in early 2023.Our current community resuscitation clinical services were developed beginning in 2022 from the previous Ambulance First Responder service, which operated under our previous structure. This strategic change was undertaken to avoid service duplication, but also to reflect the specialist nature of the service that we provide, that being cardiopulmonary resuscitation. During 2022-23 our clinicians responded to the following incidents: 3 fall; 4 road traffic collisions; 1 roadside rescue; 1 collapse; 8 breathing difficulties.The Community CPR Trust is one of the few organisations which set up community access public defibrillator (CPAD) sites at no cost to the requesting and hosting organisation. Most of the defibrillators we provide are reconditioned units, which have been through a thorough maintenance overhaul prior to being placed in the community. The use of reconditioned units helps us to manage costs, but also demonstrates our commitment to sustainability from a climate and resource perspective.New CPAD sites are set up after receiving a request from an individual it organisation and a commitment to public access is an essential criterion. We prioritise sites where there is not already a defibrillator available within 500 metres. It is also a policy requirement of ours that any sites we set up must be listed on the National Defibrillator Network (The Circuit), which is curated by the British Heart Foundation. This allows CPADs to be located by members of the public and so that the ambulance service can advise the public and clinicians where the nearest defibrillator is.During the current reporting period we have set up 15 new sites and have additionally provided defibrillators to 3 Community First Responder groups.One of the core functions of our organisation, is to teach people how to save lives, which we accomplished through the provision of regular community training events. Whenever we place a new defibrillator, initial and ongoing AED awareness training is offered. Furthermore, we offer regular, free CPR, Resuscitation and First Aid courses to communities across the U.K. While our training was previously accredited by an external awarding body, we are now an awarding body for first aid qualifications in our own right, in common with other voluntary aid societies. In addition to the community training programs that we offer; we also provide resuscitation training to professionals and other voluntary sector organisations.During this reporting period we have delivered 23 training sessions across the UK.Of particular note during the current reporting period is that we are the first organisation in the UK to introduce the “stop the lead training”. This is a formal public health education program of the American College of Surgeons and is internationally recognised for the delivery of life-saving trauma skills to members of the public. As this is a relatively new initiative that we are offering as an organisation, we have so far delivered 4 sessions of this training during the current reporting period.
Our stakeholders are composed of our patients, volunteers, community members receiving defibrillators, course delegates and our partner organisations in other parts of the voluntary and community sector. There is a director within the organisation who has specific responsibility for Safeguarding and Governance and functions as our named professional in this regard. All volunteers and board members undergo Level 3 Safeguarding training as the minimum.We seek feedback from our patients through the provision of patient satisfaction surveys, this is something that is offered on an ongoing basis. Feedback is sought from our volunteers through encouraging attendance at our AGM, as well as through the provision of invoking training and development opportunities. This was indeed one of the areas where we made changes as a result of feedback received, our volunteers requested more training in the technical aspects of resuscitation. In response to this we have now developed one of the few Critical Care Science training programs outside of the NHS. This consists of a number of industry and university accredited training modules. Our volunteers who served during the pandemic response for the organisation all received medals of recognition, The Pandemic Response Medal of the British People, provided by Empire Medals.Course delegates provide feedback of our education offerings through post-course evaluations. We have implemented changes to our course materials over the last reporting period as a result of this feedback. Specifically making our courses more practical in focus.In terms of engagement with the wider voluntary and health sector, we are members of the Voluntary and Community Sector Emergencies Partnership (VCS-EP) and the Infection Prevention Society (IPS) Ambulance Special Interest Group. Many of our volunteers are also members of the British Association of Immediate Care Schemes (BASICS).
