Normandy Rescue

Day 4 of the Rubis Jersey Internaional Motoring Festival, we have had both MSUK rescue vehicles and ambulances attending all 4 days. A big thank you to all our volunteers for giving up your time to support this event.we also had a crew providing medical cover at a boxing event Saturday night 👍🚑👏

The event is still going today at Peoples Park with both a hillclimb and an active area.

It’s National Volunteers Week and we would like to take this opportunity to thank all our members who do tremendous work supporting local motor sport and various over events around the island providing medical and motorsport rescue.

They give up many hours both for training and event cover. The work you all do is greatly appreciated by everyone. 👏🫡👍

Also, a big thank you to NAPA Medical for all your support👏

We had a great time covering the inaugural Lions Club of Jersey 5km, 10km and half marathon trail runs yesterday, raising funds for Maison des Landes - accessible hotel and community hub. 2 crews out supporting the event and one of our team tail running. Thanks for a great day and the exceptionally tasty cake!

Bank holiday boredom? Why not visit our Voluntary Medical Service open day at the Weighbridge to find out more about what we do.

Our Rescue technicians spent the morning cutting up a demo car, while the rest of the team prepped the medical tent and set up the colouring competition and laid out our free pens.

We’re here 12 - 4pm.

Are you interested in what happens at a major incident, or when voluntary organisations attend a public event?
Pop along to the combined services open day on MONDAY 25 MAY 12 pm - 4 pm at the Weighbridge.

Voluntary organisations will be showcasing what they do, how they work together and demonstrating lifesaving equipment.
You can also learn about volunteering opportunities and how you could use life-saving skills at public events and when supporting at a major incident.

Today is international Nurses Day and we would like to recognise the Nurses that work and support Normandy Rescue, including those who also volunteer for bigger events.

Your support, dedication and professionalism is appreciated by all the Normandy Rescue volunteers. 🫡👍

Happy Liberation Day to all the islanders in Jersey and the other islands in the Channel Islands 🇯🇪

Normandy Rescue have crews out tonight and again for the next two days supporting the Event Organisers for the Lib in the Square event.

We are located by the old Police Station should you require assistance, Weekend Welfare are also next to us should you need some time out.

Information corner! Today is lung conditions.

🫁 All four of these conditions affect the same anatomical region—the pleural space—yet they differ significantly in cause, content, and clinical impact. Pneumothorax refers to the presence of air 💨 within the pleural cavity, leading to partial or complete lung collapse and presenting with sudden chest pain and shortness of breath. Hemothorax involves the accumulation of blood 🩸 in this space, most often due to trauma, and can rapidly compromise hemodynamic stability, requiring urgent drainage. Pleural effusion is characterized by the buildup of non-infectious fluid, commonly associated with conditions such as heart failure ♥️,infections, or systemic diseases. In contrast, emphysema represents an infected pleural effusion where pus accumulates, indicating a more severe process that necessitates both antibiotic 💊 therapy and drainage. In essence, whether air, blood, fluid, or pus occupies the pleural space, the location remains the same—but the diagnosis, management, and urgency vary considerably. 🚑

From all at Normandy Rescue, have a good Easter and try not to eat too much chocolate🍫🍫

Despite the holidays, we still have a crew out today covering the JMCLCC Motocross event, that’s Isobel, Alan and Hamish.

We also have crews out tomorrow providing medical and rescue for the first JMCLCC Hillclimb of the season.

Thanks to all our volunteers for giving up so much of their time, it really appreciated 👍
