Terms and Conditions :

By signing up to the GoodSAM app you are accepting the rules laid out in this code of conduct and within the code of conduct in the GoodSAM app. Any volunteer who signs up to the app is declaring they are over the age of 18 and they are CPR aware. Any instances of not adhering to the rules set out in the code of conduct will result in immediate removal of verification, and so no alert will be received via the app. 1. The Responder is responsible for their own health and safety. When the Responder is alerted via the App, it is the choice of the responder to accept or reject the alert, and you are not obliged at any time to accept an alert. 2. Do not undertake any action or enter any situation where your, or another person's health or safety could be compromised. 3. The Responder must ensure that their knowledge and skills are current. If you believe your knowledge and skills is not current then acting as a Responder must not occur. 4. The Responder should arrive by foot. Only in rural locations should driving to a location be considered and normal road rules still apply. Specifically, the use of hazard or warning devices is not allowed whilst responding, and there are no exemptions to road traffic legislation or any other applicable legislation as a result of being alerted via the GoodSAM platform. 5. The Responder should only respond if fully alert and prepared. Do not respond if alcohol has been consumed or whist under the influence of medication or other substances. Preparation includes the possession of any personal protective equipment you consider necessary. 6. A Responder MUST NOT provide a response beyond a skill set they are trained to. When appropriate, BASIC LIFE SUPPORT and AED use are all that are to be provided. 7. The Responder should apply common sense judgment to the locations of alerts and not respond to public buildings where there will be personnel already there who can perform CPR. Examples include (although not an exhaustive list); Police Premises, Community Hospital and Health Centres, Schools etc. 8. If a responder arrives at a location and is refused entry then the responder should leave immediately and not try to proceed. 9. Upon arrival of ambulance services, responsibility for patient care will be assumed by them. Following the arrival of the ambulance service, Responders may continue to assist with ongoing resuscitation efforts under the leadership & guidance of the Ambulance Service but only if asked to do so. 10. The Responder is responsible for ensuring that their ability to act as a Responder is not impaired by any medical, physical or mental health conditions. It is recommended that you discuss any concerns with your relevant health care professional prior to registering as a Responder. Neither the relevant Ambulance Service, nor GoodSAM are responsible for any illness or injury related to your involvement in the program. 11. Participation in the GoodSAM program is voluntary. You must not seek payment, gifts, benefits or hospitality in relation to your involvement in the program. 12. Patient privacy and confidentiality is paramount. Other than to emergency services, you must not share or disclose information gained as part of a response. Other than via specific functionalities provided within the GoodSAM app, the recording of video, audio or still images (photos) is not allowed during a response. In addition, information related to a patient or any part of a response must not be disclosed in the media (including social media.) Breach of this rule will result in you being automatically removed from the GoodSAM program. 13. Responders act as bystanders and are not representatives of the Ambulance Service or any other organisation. Responders are responsible for their actions. If you have borrowed an AED as part of a response, you are required to return the AED to the place you collected it, unless Ambulance Service staff explicitly request to keep it. You are liable for any damage you cause to third party property. Neither the relevant Ambulance Service, nor GoodSAM are responsible for any damage or theft of property belonging to the responder which occurs in relation to a response.
