• You will need no previous medical experience or knowledge.
• You will be recieve all training by West Midlands Ambulance Service at their National Academy, this is done over a few consecutive weekends, this is then followed by several buddy shifts with our group
•  Over the course of the training there are 2 multiple choice exams as well as practical test scenarios
•  All of the training is provided free of charge by the Ambulance Service
•  Uniforms are then provided by our group
•  You will need to be over 18 to become a CFR and over 25 to drive the responder vehicle
•  Our responders usually go on-call in pairs, some do go on-call solo but this is by no means a requirment
•  You must live in or very near to the village of Gnosall 
•  When on-call you must be ready to go at a moments notice from your home or workplace      
•  The time expected of volunteers for the Ambulance Service is 200 hours per year, this sounds a lot but it works out to an average of 4 hours per week
