What Is A First Responder Training Program?
In May 2005 with the aid of British Tesla
Lighter Survival Tool Review paramedic Bob Brotchie, the support of Falklands war hero Simon Weston in association with Vodafone's annual life savers award. The East Anglian Ambulance Service launched a national In case of Emergency ICE campaign in the hope of rectifying this situation. When interviewed on July 12, 2005 on the BBC Radio 4 Today program, Brotchie said.
I was reflecting on some difficult calls I've attended, where people were unable to speak to me through injury or illness and we were unable to find out who they were. I discovered that many people, obviously, carry mobile phones and we were using them to discover who they were. It occurred to me that if we had a uniform approach to searching inside a mobile phone for an emergency contact then that would make it easier for everyone.
The simple idea is that you store the word ICE in your mobile phone address book, and against it enter the number of the person you would want to be contacted In Case of Emergency. In an emergency situation, ambulance and hospital staff will then be able to quickly find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact them. It's as simple as that, and for more than one contact name you can use ICE1, ICE2, and ICE3 etc.
The Scouting Association and the Guide Association implemented this idea straight away. They encouraged all the Cubs, Brownies, Scouts, Guides, Explorers and Rangers that owned mobile phones to add an ICE number. They though this would be especially useful for the old youngsters when out on expeditions if they got into difficulties.
