StreetDoctors is a United Kingdom charitable organisation[1] that trains young people in emergency first aid knowledge to increase their confidence and willingness to take positive action at the scene of a violent attack or accident, for example if someone has been stabbed or knocked out.
[2] StreetDoctors was established in 2008 in Liverpool with a vision to reduce street violence by training young people to keep safe, save lives, and be part of the solution to the issue of street violence.
[3][4][5][6] The training is provided by a community of young volunteers in the healthcare sector, including paramedics, doctors, and nurses.
They collaborate closely with police departments and local community organizations.
[7][8][9] Through their sessions, young people receive peer-to-peer first responder training, learning how to prevent loss of life and gaining the confidence to step forward to protect others.
