St John wants app promoted

ST John Ambulance will be launching a media campaign to promote their ambulance emergency smartphone app.
Commissioner Matthew Cannon said that this may include putting up billboards across the National Capital District.
He said that one of the common challenges the ambulance has is finding people.
“We are expecting over the next year or two that the use of the emergency app will increase quite significantly. We are currently promoting the app only on Facebook.”
He said the app reveals the GPS coordinates of the location a caller reads to the operator. The numbers are then entered into a map where it shows where the location of the caller.
