Carradale Community First Responders
Carradale Community First Responders are group of local volunteers trained by the Scottish Ambulance Service. We are dispatched in response to certain 999 emergency calls in our locality, to support patients, prior to the arrival of an ambulance and paramedic. Carradale Community First Responders now carry Naloxone, a drug that can reverse the effects of opioids such as codeine, morphine, heroin, methadone, and opium.
