Newport Community First Responders For those people every minute counts, their best chance of survival is defibrillation within the first 10 minutes.

The Newport Cardiac First Responders are the Community First Responder Group in Newport Co Tipperary and were set up specifically for assisting people living in rural areas who suffer Cardiac Arrest. We are a group of volunteers, dispatched by the 999/112 Emergency Ambulance Service and are “on call 24/7” to respond to Breathing Difficulty and Cardiac Emergencies in their Communities. The Group training is carried out by PHECC CFR Instructors and the work is carried out by the volunteers who give up their own time to be “on call”.

Today is World Stroke Day.

A stroke can happen to anyone. Recognising the signs and acting quickly could save a life.

Act F.A.S.T.:

• Face – Can the person smile? Has their mouth or eye drooped?
• Arms – Can they raise both arms?
• Speech – Is their speech slurred or difficult to understand?
• Time – Call 112 or 999 immediately if you notice any one of these signs.

A stroke can destroy up to two million brain cells every minute. The faster you act, the more of the person you can save.

The Irish Heart Foundation is here to support stroke survivors and their families.

More information on our stroke supports can be found in the comments.
