Falmouth University has partnered with Coast Medic Ambulance to launch an innovative new 24/7 on-call emergency medical response service for students, staff, and campus visitors. This forward-thinking initiative ensures that professional medical help is available within minutes during a health crisis, offering reassurance and immediate care at a time when pressure on NHS ambulance services continues to cause significant response delays across the region.
The new service is delivered by Coast Medic Ambulance – a CQC-registered independent ambulance provider – ensuring robust clinical governance, safety standards, and regulatory compliance. Coast Medic’s experienced paramedics and trained emergency medical responders are available around the clock and able to respond on-site to emergencies within minutes, significantly reducing the time to first care.
With demand on NHS resources at an all-time high, Coast Medic’s provision offers a vital layer of support for Falmouth University’s welfare and safeguarding commitments. The service acts as a complement to the national ambulance service, delivering immediate treatment for urgent medical situations while awaiting backup or hospital transport if required.
Affordably structured, the initiative is designed to be cost-effective while maintaining the highest standards of care. Coast Medic has a long-standing reputation for delivering responsive, patient-centred emergency medical services throughout the South West, and this partnership marks a progressive step in ensuring safer, healthier university environments.
By integrating professional, on-call medical support directly into campus life, Falmouth University continues to lead the way in student wellbeing, demonstrating a proactive and modern approach to campus health and emergency preparedness.
