With an average of 2 lives saved per month, ICRR turns community spirit into real impact. By setting up community based rapid response units in key geographic locations around Ireland, ICRR addresses issues in emergency response time in rural areas. When someone dials 999 for an ambulance, a local network of medical carers – who in most cases will be closer to the place of the emergency – receive an alert at the same time and immediately get to the patient. ICRR provides doctors and paramedics with all the required training and equipment, ensuring that they can deliver the best possible results for those they help.
These doctors are supported by local community units who help out by raising awareness locally, raising money for equipment and training for doctors, and also helping out with practical, non-medical issues.
