Letchworth & Baldock CFRs

Community based volunteers helping the East England Ambulance Service respond to 999 calls in Baldock and the surrounding area

[Sam Ghali, M.D. @EM_RESUS]

Hi, ER Doc here.

RT if you’ve ever done CPR on someone and they survived.

Trying to prove something.

[Letchworth & Baldock CFRs @baldockcfrs]

@DefibStoreLtd No defib, but you do get a cat scan. Not that bad then😉

[Letchworth & Baldock CFRs @baldockcfrs]

@MLGFRU @sova4776 The problem is a thin line between being utilised, and going to a call and then being stuck with a patient for hours awaiting backup. What is needed is a protocol for attend and leave awaiting next response when available. Allowing that initial assessment + poss urgent backup

#Christmas2021 will be difficult for many, especially with #COVID still so prevalent and isolation preventing people from being with friends and family.

That’s why it’s important to know there’s always someone you can talk to 👇

@EEAST_ALaurent @EEAST_Henlow @EastEnglandAmb @cbwiltshire72 @EEAST_CFRS @EEAST_GMorgan No wheel hubs to loose, what will you do 🤣😉

[EEAST Ambulance Service @EastEnglandAmb]

While everyone is busy Xmas shopping our crews are busy answering 999 calls. Only call us if it’s a life threatening emergency #HelpUsHelpYou

[EEAST Ambulance Service @EastEnglandAmb]

Here is some #WednesdayWisdom from us…

Don’t forget that your local pharmacist can provide you with over the counter treatment and medical advice for minor medical issues.

You can #HelpUsHelpYou by making the right choice when it counts the most.

[Nicholas Jones @Ambo_Digi_NJ]

Today we had our 1st cardiac arrest activation through @GoodSamApp - both myself and @EEAST_GMorgan were notified and attended, this resulted in a response <4mins. Alas it wasn’t a positive outcome, however proof that the technology works @EastEnglandAmb #rolloutsoon #WeAreEEAST

[EEAST Emergency Operations Centre @EEAST_EOC]

We are currently very busy across @EastEnglandAmb. Please consider alternative pathways such as the NHS 111 service, Pharmacy and Walk-In Centres. Please only call 999 in a life threatening emergency. #choosewell #nhs #Ambulance

[Letchworth & Baldock CFRs @baldockcfrs]

@Markwhite315 These fork thefts need urgently reporting to a police officer 🤣🤣, although given the numbers mentioned Sheffield may go broke if you find out who’s doing it

[EEAST Ambulance Service @EastEnglandAmb]

We welcome this wholeheartedly. It is an important step forward for the profession and - critically - means we will be able to support patients better in the community in time. https://t.co/6SS8YhXNvU

[EEAST Ambulance Service @EastEnglandAmb]

Over the Bank Holiday weekend if you need urgent medical advice and support but it's not an emergency, please call NHS 111.

Do you know your blood type?

Last week @NHSEngland issued an urgent callout for blood donors. Stocks for O- and B- are still running very low, & with a dip in donations expected over Easter, your help is needed more than ever.
