St. Andrew's Ambulance Association

St. Andrew's Ambulance Association is Scotland's premier provider of first aid training and services. Every year the Association teaches more that 20,000 people vital life-saving skills. Almost 1,500 voluntary members of St. Andrews's Ambulance Corps give their time to help others by providing first aid cover at public events throughout Scotland.

The Association also provides activities for young people, aiming to teach first aid in an interesting and stimulating way: Badgers (age 6-11) and Cadets (11-16) learn vital first aid and also take part in a wide variety of activities.

Volunteers

In an emergency situation, basic first aid skills save lives. Communities across Scotland have teams of skilled men and women providing essential first-aid services. First aid volunteers may be involved in one or more of several activities:

  • Attending major public events, such as football matches
  • Becoming a Badger or Cadet leader
  • Radio communications at public events
  • Officer training
  • Defibrillation
  • Incident management
  • Fundraising

Training

St. Andrew's Ambulance Association is Scotland's premier provider of first aid training to the public and industry. Courses are available in centres throughout Scotland, or can be run on client sites and can be provided for individuals or groups. A wide range of courses are available:

  • Anaphylaxis awareness
  • Tailor-made courses

Supplies

The Association has its own supplies division, which provides a service for our volunteers, first aid class members, the business community and the general public.
