Our mission is to provide advanced pre-hospital emergency care to critically ill and injured patients in their local communities in both rural and urban areas in Ireland.

We have a team of experienced Volunteer Emergency Medicine Doctors and Medical Responders on ground in counties Mayo, Donegal and Dublin. Additional volunteer doctors are set to join them in Cork, Kildare, Dublin, Wicklow and Waterford in the coming months.

Their rapid response vehicles are kitted out with specialist medical equipment including defibrillators, chest compression systems and suction units as well as advanced medical and trauma kits. This allows the medics to perform complex - often lifesaving - medical procedures, wherever and whenever they’re called upon.

We have ambitious plans to further expand this network and are already working with the National Ambulance Service to develpe this service. Our ground teams responded to more than 1,800 incidents over the last three years alone, working in partnership with the emergency services to give people the very best chance of survival when they find themselves seriously ill or injured.

We will continue to fundraise to kit out our volunteers so they can continue their life saving work. It costs an average of €25,000 to establish an Advanced level Volunteer Doctor in the community and €120,000 to put a new Critical Care response vehicle on the road. With your help, we will be able to expand this service to even more locations across Ireland.
