An Emergency First Responder (EFR) is a person trained in Cardiac First Response that possesses
additional knowledge and skills in the assessment and management of patients in a pre‐hospital
environment. An EFR may be part of the emergency medical services, a healthcare practitioner or a
member of the public who has undertaken a recognised EFR course. In addition to basic life support cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillation
skills, the emergency first responder possesses defined skills in the further assessment and
management of common medical emergencies and trauma, including common paediatric
emergencies and in providing assistance during labour childbirth. The EFR possesses appropriate

key rescue skills under special authorisation according to CPGs. Finally the EFR has basic training in relevant medico‐legal issues and in adopting a professional approach to interacting with patients and other emergency medical services in the pre‐hospital setting.

Have you ever seen anything like it!!

Femke Bol, in the pouring rain, chasing down the USA who set the World Record last night, just put ALL of the Netherlands on her back. She took her team FROM FOURTH with a 10 METRE DEFICIT, to FIRST, passed the USA to win GOLD for the Netherlands in the 4x400M Mixed Relay.

Incredible isn't even the world. Wow. Just Wow.

Olympic Champions.

Bol ran 47.93s anchor leg. Insane.

That was EPIC!
