@Scotambservice@ScotambSORT attended Helix Water Safety Open day today for the second year, great turn out and positive to see so many youngsters learning about how to stay safe in and around water π¦
No matter hot it is outside, you have no idea of how cold water may be.
The effect on the body of entering water 15Β°C & below is often underestimated.
Shock can be the precursor to drowning.
Think about this before entering water.

With valued support from our key partners, Drowning and Incident Review (DIR) is now available for use in Scotland. The process can be accessed via @WaterSafetyScot and your local PAWS group https://t.co/XvDAiNu2HV
@DCollingsHughes I donβt think this is fair, I donβt believe that anyone should have to pay for an ambulance in an EMERGENCY. That said, in the UK, the ambulance service is massively misused! If there was a charge, when classed as a non emergency, it would likely remove significant pressure.
Feeling proud tonight, watching Jack attend a meeting with @Dollar_Academy, he got himself tickets to listen to Doctors, Veterinarians and other medical professionals discuss their experiences in their chosen fields and offering high school kids advice on how to move forward ππ»
The temperature has been low for a few days, some waterways have a very thin ice layer. Please follow the @RLSSUK Winter Water Safety guidelines, @WaterSafetyScot
A striking picture of what is seen by patients, passers by, and other healthcare workers. They must know how grave the situation is when they see this.
