This afternoon we have had both cars on duty based at the Shipston Duck Race. This was another great opportunity to engage with the community and join in at a local event.

Well done to the Stour Valley Lions for organising another fantastic Duck Race!

Another day another community event!

This morning CFR Hayley is in Tysoe supporting Laura's Charity Tractor Run whilst on-call ready to respond to local emergencies.

We are very proud to support as many community events as we can. Good luck to all who are taking part!

We have a second team of CFRs on-call later today based at Shipston Annual Duck Race in RC8314. Please pop and say hello!

This morning whilst on-call CFR Tony attended Tysoe's Village Open Day where local organisations and community groups joined together to spread awareness of what support they can provide to the local community!

A huge congratulations to our three new Community First Responders Gemma, Matthew, and Graham who successfully passed their FROS course with West Midlands Ambulance Service 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

👏 Congratulations to 17 new CFR recruits who completed their Community Responder Course at Sandwell Hub last weekend!

When bystanders start CPR promptly, it can more than double the person’s chance of surviving a cardiac arrest.*

If someone suddenly collapses at a community sport event, remember:
🗣️ Check
📱 Call
❤️ CPR

To make sure your sports club is prepared for the ultimate medical emergency, read our new guide: resus.org.uk/resus-in-sports

Yesterday Community Trainer Di provided an informative and practical CPR & Defibrillator awareness session to the EFX team.
Our awareness sessions involve lots of practical elements including practicing hands-only CPR and the use of a Public Access Defibrillator.

We are happy to provide awareness sessions to the local community. Please contact us via [email protected] for more information.

Our day shift Community First Responder in RC8314 has now finished shift and has handed over to our night shift Community First Responder in RC8187.

Thank you for the continued support 🚑🙏

Quick access to a defibrillator can be lifesaving in a cardiac arrest.

Yet nearly half of people don’t know where the nearest AED is at their local sports venue.

If you’re involved in community sport, help your club prepare for the ultimate medical emergency by making sure members are aware of where your defib is located.
