iPhone users, Did you know you can set up your medical ID Card within the health app that gives any medical conditions along with medication and next of kin information in case it is ever needed all from your lock screen or Apple Watch.
Yesterday some our team attended a training session which now allows our responders to use more equipment and skills which means we can now provide even more care to a patient before an ambulance arrives. @YASCFR@YorksAmbulance#savinglives#volunteer
We're recruiting volunteers in Ripon. For more info drop us a message or go to https://t.co/WFGyrStw4a to find out more about Community First Responders.

Really interesting figures regarding static/mobile defibrillators success from @CFR_Yorkshire. Public access defibs have a 40% success rate of obtaining a ROSC whilst mobile defibs are only at 10%. Public access defibs are a must for all community’s.
Paul Stevens currently talking about how important Volunteers are. There were 10,928 cardiac arrest throughout Yorkshire last year. Thats just over 29 a day. Has the question ‘Do you know CPR’ ever been more important? You really could save someone life.
First up is Paul Stevens, head of community resilience from @YorksAmbulance talking about @YASCFR’s and how their journey began and where it may lead to in the future.
