Over the past 10 years, Paul has given dedicated service as a Community First Responder, supporting patients at some of their most vulnerable moments.
He first became involved through his role with HM Coastguard, working as a Co-Responder as part of a team. He has seen many changes over the years with improved systems and equipment helping responders to deliver enhanced care and a better patient experience.
Paul said: "I have had many highlights, from helping patients when they need it most, whether that is arriving first on scene to beginning life-saving interventions, supporting crews to help achieve a positive outcome, or recognising when a patient is far more unwell than first expected. Even simply being there with a patient while they wait for a crew can make a real difference."
