This equipment is enough for us to provide the level of care required until the Ambulance Crews arrive. Any equipment that we use (disposables) is replaced by the Ambulance Service via the attending crews.

As more members join our Team, we need more equipment to allow them to respond effectively and provide a good level of service to the Community we cover. We also need to maintain our equipment due to wear and tear, buy new batteries etc and replace certain items.
