Many of us are enjoying Scotland's beautiful scenery at this time of year and the roads are busy.

To overtake safely, look well ahead & beyond the vehicle in front, consider your position & avoid overtaking at junctions and lay-bys.

Many thanks to @drpaddymorgan for joining our @Scotambservice Trauma Tuesday CPD session to discuss drowning. Lots to think about but key is to do the basics well. Suction only what you can see, support 'air in and out' and 'blood round and round'. 👏👏
