Annalee CFR

Annalee Community First Responders would like to give a huge thank you to Mike and his colleagues in Tesco Cavan Town for having us as their Blue Token beneficiary the last 12 weeks.

Thank you all who also shopped in Tesco and gave there blue tokens towards our group.

We are a 100% voluntary group and rely on donations to enable us to keep responding to emergency call-outs on behalf of the National Ambulance Service.

Cold weather can have a serious impact on the life and functionality of defibrillator batteries. When temperatures drop, the gel in electrode pads can freeze, making them ineffective. Extreme cold can also harm the internal parts of a defibrillator, which could lead to malfunctions or even total failure.

It’s crucial to check the storage conditions of your AEDs, whether they're in your vehicle, an unheated cabinet, a dressing room, or any building. For more details, make sure to consult the manufacturer's recommendations.

Ambulance Service saw busiest day yesterday with over a thousand calls The National Ambulance Service is urging patients to seek alternative pathways to hospital after its busiest day of the year so far.

Wishing everyone a safe Halloween! 🧙‍♂️🧟‍♀️🦸🕷🕸

With evenings dark at this time of year, it’s important to ensure that both adults and children can be seen when out and about, particularly if you are out trick or treating. Ideally your child should wear light coloured clothing, have a reflective strip on the front and back, or a high visibility vest and carry a torch. It is a good idea to avoid poorly lit areas and use footpaths where available.

If you are driving at Halloween, remember to slow down and watch out for children in dark costumes.

Some pictures from our training session last night. We practiced scenarios our responders may be sent to. If you interested in been a Community First Responder Dm us.

Bystander CPR in cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in this country increased by an enormous 25% between 2012 and 2023, according to the latest OHCAR Annual Report.
