Product Overview 

Originally created in the UK with years of research, Bridges' localized this version with input from medical administrators, emergency room staff and health care professionals from across the country.

The layout of the book mirrors how medical situations normally progress from first contact through to diagnosis and initial treatment. The core sections of the book follow the medical assessment mnemonic, SAMPLE. In addition, the back of the booklet provides easy access to a pain scale and core responses that may be used at any time. For example, the responses 'Yes' and 'No'.

Who is it for? 

The First Response Communication Book is for any medical professional who may be first on the scene at a medical emergency. For example:

  • Paramedics
  • Ambulance crews
  • Doctors
  • Nurses
  • Community first responders
  • Clinicians
  • Firemen
  • Police officers

Communicating clearly before or during a medical visit or procedure can be essential to reducing stress and ensuring success. The First Response Communication Book is an invaluable tool for anyone who needs regular medical care and has communication or comprehension challenges: individuals on the autism spectrum, with Down's Syndrome, brain injury etc. .

The First Response Communication Book was recently acquired by the British Red Cross for inclusion in all their ambulances.
