A community first responder (CFR) group in Norfolk has reached a landmark by attending its 5,000th call-out.

Volunteers from Wroxham and Hoveton CFRs have been attending medical emergencies for more than 11 years.

A recent call to help a patient with breathing difficulties represented the group's 5,000 call.

Co-ordinator Kevin Webster, who has attended more than 3,000 of those calls, said the group has seven CFRs, but they were always keen to hear from new volunteers.

He said: 'There are many highlights from helping an elderly patient who has had a fall to successfully resuscitating a patient who is in cardiac arrest. Someone had a cardiac arrest in my home once and we managed to get him back. Every call has its challenge, but that is what makes the role so satisfactory and enjoyable.'
