St John Ambulance is a charitable non-governmental organisation dedicated to the teaching and practice of first aid and the support of the national emergency response system in England.[4][5] Along with St John Ambulance Cymru, St John Ambulance Northern Ireland, and St John Scotland, it is one of four United Kingdom affiliates of the international St John Ambulance movement.[6]
The St John Ambulance Association was founded in 1877 to provide first aid training. In 1887, the St John Ambulance Brigade was founded to provide uniformed medics at public events. In 1968, the two were merged into the present foundation.[7] The organisation is a subsidiary of the England and the Islands priory (i.e. branch) of the Order of St John.[8] Until 2012, it also managed St John Ambulance services in the Isle of Man and Channel Islands.[9]
In 2022, St John Ambulance was commissioned by NHS England to provide England's ambulance auxiliary.[10]
