    with all the cuts, we'll be lucky to have basic care

    I feel strongly that Ireland should have the equivalent or that the charity should branch into Ireland. A lot of Pre-Hospital Practitioners, Nurses, Doctors etc... would be more than wiling to respond to emergency on a vol basis as would i.

    The only frustration is that there is no point of contact for this type of role. Basics could be that point of contact. They also give responders the capabilities of blue light response which is the essential difference between community based and a Baisc type model - time is critical. The sooner we can get care to a patient the better vol or otherwise.

    Would love to see it come to Ireland, but thats wishful thinking.

    As for incidents, i think any incident within the scope of the individual responder i.e. CFR - cardiac arrests, Paramedic - All Incidents etc...

    Is there any sign of something like this starting up anywhere in Ireland?

    Cork leading the way. Group of Prehospital Emergency Medicine (PHEM) doctors managed out of CUH Emergency Department under Prof Cusack. A number of different models operating voluntarily under this system on behalf of National Ambulance Service; including the response car out of CUH, as well as North, East and West Cork cars. East Cork has had a response for nearly 40 years! West Cork Rapid Response is a charity, now 5 years in existence. www.westcorkrapidresponse.ie
