Community First Responders play a vital role in supporting patients and communities, particularly in rural areas where they are often thefirst on scene in an emergency.

We’re delighted to see the incredible work of volunteers highlighted in this feature from the Irish Farmers Journal, following the tragic loss of Gerry O’Donnell in a farm accident.

A powerful reminder of the difference CFRs make every day. Thank you to all our CFR volunteers for the time, commitment and care you give to your communities.

Norovirus, also known as the winter vomiting bug, can be caught at any time of the year. It is an easily spread virus that causes sudden onset of vomiting and diarrhoea. Norovirus is circulating in Ireland.

Strokes are a medical emergency, and urgent treatment is essential. The sooner a person gets treatment for a stroke, the less damage is likely to happen. If you think you or someone else is having a stroke, dial 999 or 112 immediately.

Physical activity helps with your physical and mental health. It releases chemicals in your brain (endorphins) that have a positive effect on your mood and your body.

It doesn't take huge changes. Start small and keep moving, whatever your age or ability: https://bit.ly/4gq1EqT

Back to school is just around the corner, so we're urging all motorists to take care on the roads, particularly near schools and in built up areas.

Be mindful of pedestrians and cyclists, we all share the road.

We'd ask parents to ensure that your child is visible when walking or cycling to school, and if you're driving always make sure everyone has put on their seat belts.

Cuimhnigh, tóg go bog é agus tiomáin go cúramach.

Ahead of tomorrow's Leaving Cert results, we're appealing to parents to talk to your child about being sensible when it comes to alcohol, drugs and going out.

While we want everyone to enjoy themselves and the celebrations, it's important to be safe - make sure they've made a plan for getting home, that they know to never drive under the influence, to stay with their friends while out and to call 999 in an emergency, no matter what has happened.
