About Us

West Cork Rapid Response (WCRR) is an entirely voluntary group working in partnership with and supporting the existing HSE National Ambulance Services (NAS).  Our Rapid Response Vehicle and volunteers are declared National Ambulance Service assets based in and serving all of West Cork.

Our responders are all existing emergency services personnel, who voluntarily support their community by responding to life and limb threatening emergencies at the request of the National Ambulance Service and in their own time.

Our rapid response vehicle and volunteers are equipped to provide prehospital Critical Care Support and Advanced Life Support,  as per the rigorous standards laid down by both the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland, The Royal College of Emergency Medicine and the Prehospital Emergency Care Council.

We are a registered Irish Charity and we welcome all donations. Absolutely nobody within the organisation is paid, their professional time is entirely voluntary. With your help, we can make a difference in our community right now.

West Cork Rapid Response aims to put the…
