ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is exploring how to best support volunteers in the NHS, specifically focusing on Community First Responders (CFRs). These are trained individuals who help provide emergency care before the ambulance arrives. The goal of the study is to understand how the CFR role impacts patients and the healthcare system, and to find ways to enhance the support for volunteers like them. Researchers will gather information from CFRs, NHS staff, and patients to learn about their experiences and how CFRs contribute to emergency services.
To participate in this study, individuals must either work as a Community First Responder or have received care from one. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but when it does, those eligible can expect to share their insights through interviews or by reviewing documents related to their experiences. This research aims to create stronger volunteer programs within the NHS, ultimately benefiting patients and improving emergency care services.
