| Can anyone join? |
| Indeed everyone is welcome. We have many
different sections to suit all tastes and time constraints. |
| But I can't stand blood? |
| There are sections that do not involve first aid.
If you wish, we are always seeking out drivers that don't need to interact with the injuries. |
| What ages do you take? |
| We have roles for every age group from 13 upwards
and provide a challenging and rewarding experience for everyone. |
| I don't know anyone in
Kinsale |
| Well its the perfect opportunity to meet some
great and wonderful people who give of their time freely. |
| My friend told me that
your ambulance has no equipment? |
| Tell your friend that they can view the high
standard of equipment at any time including defibrillator (AED),
spinal boards, collars, oxygen, entonox, OPA and much much
more. |
| But whats the point as
he says ye are cowboys? |
| All our members are trained to a very high level
and are able to use this equipment professionally. Days are gone
when basic first aiders would crew an ambulance. |
| How can I be assured
that children are safe in your organisation? |
| Our members undergo Child Protection training and
we have a duty of care policy which ensures at least 2 adults
are present with minors at all times for protection of both
adults and minors. |
| I want to book your
ambulance but unsure what I need for my event |
| Please contact us regarding your requirements and
also contact your insurer as to their requirements of first aid at your
event. |
| I have a number of
events |
| Contact us regarding availability and contracting
our services for a number of events, we would be happy to meet
with you and plan a professional service for the events. |
| If you are voluntary,
why must I pay money for you? |
| The relatively small sum charged is for the
ambulance depreciation and equipment levels along with training
expenses. Members get no monetery contribution for attending
your duty hence why we require you to provide refreshments and
food for their efforts. |
