Harrogate Community First Responders

Harrogate's Community First Responder (CFR) scheme is a life-saving partnership between volunteers and @YorksAmbulance.

🩸 It’s #NationalBloodWeek, a chance to celebrate one of the country’s biggest volunteering forces: all our donors!

To every single person who has donated blood with the NHS – THANK YOU.

Your selfless acts help save and improve lives across the nation every day. ❤️

Choosing the best healthcare service for your needs enables us to make sure that we are available to help those with life-threatening illnesses or injuries.

Thank you to the over 750 volunteers who gave their time to teach CPR at schools today.

This included off-duty ambulance staff, Community First Responders and volunteers from partner organisations.

#RestartaHeart Day would not be possible without you!

Our 11th #RestartaHeart Day has come to a close, with 35,000 students from 172 schools having learnt CPR in a day - thank you to all who participated and can now save a life.

We’re counting down to #RestartaHeart Day on October 16 when we’ll visit 170 secondary schools across Yorkshire, ensuring more than 35,000 students are #CPRConfident.

Think and Act F.A.S.T. if you see any signs of a stroke:

Face – has their face fallen on one side? Can they smile?
Arms – can they raise both arms and keep them there?
Speech – is their speech slurred?
Time – even if you’re not sure, call 999.

[Harrogate Community First Responders @HarrogateCFRs]

We're very proud to work alongside our fantastic paramedics and their equally fantastic crewmates. 💚

This #InternationalParamedicsDay we’re highlighting the many ways our frontline clinicians make a difference, from responding to life-threatening emergencies to providing comfort to patients and their loved ones in their hour of need.
