Community Defibrillation Officer & Resilience Support Team member for @YorksAmbulance - looking after CFRs & CPADs across Yorkshire. All views are my own.
Thank you to @PhilDrummer64 & @JBPara999 for talking to our volunteers about the Specialist Critical Care Paramedic role within @YorksAmbulance
Both started their career as a CFR!

We are calling on people who currently look after a defibrillator - and those who purchase one in the future - to make sure they connect it to The Circuit by registering it online.

Busy day out on Yorkshire's east coast for me today, defib queries in Bridlington and Scarborough resolved before travelling to Filey to deliver a CPAD familiarisation session...in a riding arena.🐴
Great attendance by the local community #savinglives#defibrillators#CPR
We are currently rolling out a new activation system to our CFRs across Yorkshire. NMA allows us to track our volunteers and activate them quicker to emergencies in their local community. @YorksAmbulance#VolunteersWeek#NMA
Bus driver, Mark, was inspired to become a Community First Responder after he saved the life of a passenger
Whilst doing final checks on a bus, Mark noticed a passenger was not breathing, he called 999 and began CPR
