The Red Cross and St John were invited to appoint two representatives to sit on the working party. Recruiting for the service began on 15 November 1949.
In 1955, the service carried out a civil defence exercise in Croyden. It was the first time in Britain that a doctor, nurse and auxiliaries of the NHSR arrived on scene by helicopter.
