Question
To ask the Scottish Government what training system is used by the Scottish Ambulance Service, and whether the First Person on Scene (FPOS) Intermediate system is currently being used and, if not, for what reason it is no longer used as a training tool.
Answer
Since 2014 the Scottish Ambulance Service has delivered a comprehensive 4 day training course, developed in-house, to provide the required training for Community First Responders - delivering a more detailed and comprehensive training package than the basic 2 day FPOS scheme.
