Response Services FAQs
How quickly can we respond?
Our local response teams can often reach contracted sites before an NHS ambulance, helping patients receive earlier clinical assessment and care. Response times depend on location, availability and circumstances and are not guaranteed. We can escalate to the statutory emergency services when required. In a life-threatening emergency, always call 999.
Do we need the NHS?
Our response service complements the NHS. We provide early care and work with NHS ambulance services when patients need their support or transport. Where clinically appropriate, our clinicians liaise with ambulance control about whether an NHS response is still needed, helping resources reach those who need them most.
What clinical grades are our staff?
Our teams include experienced paramedics, nurses, emergency care assistants and responders. Staffing is matched to the service and its risks. Each team member works within their qualifications, competence and clinical scope of practice.
Is this onsite first aid?
We provide onsite first aid and can also deliver a higher level of clinical care through healthcare professionals supported by clinical governance. Coast Medic Ambulance Ltd is independently regulated by the Care Quality Commission.
What equipment do we carry?
Depending on the service and clinical team, our equipment includes 12-lead ECG, defibrillators, patient monitors, response bags, medical gases and medicines appropriate to the clinicians’ scope of practice. We have access to frontline ambulance equipment and can provide a service-specific equipment list on request.
