Alderney has a new team of #volunteer Emergency Responders, trained to support the #ambulance service in the island - equipped with AED & other first aid equipment, they respond to life-threatening calls in their vicinity, in a similar way to #CFRs in Guernsey.

Great to be on @BBCBreakfast this morning showing our story and charity launch. Thanks to St John Ambulance Jess' for giving the nation a refresher in choking protocol, that was fantastic.

It's important to know, that LifeVac is regulated by the MHRA and is for use when first aid has failed, at the point of calling an ambulance grab your LifeVac!

To purchase one for home, visit https://t.co/ttAbJxdZwZ and use discount code 'OF10' which will give you 10% discount and @LifeVacEurope will donated 15% of each sale back to our charity to enable us to fund more free devices for registered childcare settings.

If you can support us in anyway, also visit https://t.co/AkdKcmVw8q

At 9am ambulance crews joined colleagues from the other emergency services to mark #999Day - promoting the work of the emergency services, career & volunteer opportunities - and a moment to reflect on the challenges faced by blue light personnel.

[Resuscitation Council UK @ResusCouncilUK]

Healthcare workers who give CPR to people who’ve had cardiac arrest - how do you look after yourself afterwards?

Giving CPR affects everyone individually, so it’s important you’re prepared for the impact it can have on your mental health.

Our new resource is packed with advice to look after responders’ wellbeing, including tips on how to seek help and ways to support your team.
