First Response's Director, Clive Haddrell has over thirty years experience with the Great Western Ambulance Service NHS Trust, caring for seriously ill and critically-injured people. Clive is the BBC Paramedic Advisor to the well-known television program "Casualty" (Click Here)  and has advised on first aid courses with other training organisations.

As a paramedic, Clive has long recognised the importance of good first aid, resuscitation and defibrillation skills, yet many individuals lack even the most basic first aid knowledge.

From this need was born "First Response" – Established (1999). A training company specialising in providing great quality First Aid and Resuscitation Training to a wide range of health service employees; commercial and service companies. We also run courses for groups and individuals from the general public.
