Over the last weekend we've been down at TenTors providing Comms cover across the moors for our medical resources and been supporting and running the medical Control Room.
To the member we so tragically have lost from our West Region family, know that your efforts and dedication to supporting others has touched and influenced more lives than you will ever know and you will be missed and never forgotten.
Signing you off duty - Control out.
Sometimes our Comms team do something a little outside their usual wheelhouse.
Last night one of our team delivered a training session on Introduction to #BSL (including fingerspelling) to a network in the South West.
Can you work out which network?
The Royal Cornwall Show is now finished, but our Comms Team volunteers worked exceedingly hard before and during the event to ensure we had faultless coverage and complete situational awareness throughout. Another example where efficient comms truly makes all the difference.
Our Communications teams not only have the know how on installing the tech to allow wide area radio operations, but also we set-up and run Control Rooms to manage inbound calls from other agencies and to quickly dispatch our resources to those in need.
Our Control Staff and Communications Team Members are back at @RoyalCornwall Show alongside our volunteers who are providing medical cover across the site. We are deploying ambulances, Cycle Responders and foot teams between our multiple Treatment Centres.
Our Operational Communications team are here again at the #royalcornwallshow alongside our volunteer medical providers and emergency ambulances. If you see any of the team - feel free to say Hi and #askme about how you can help save a life too!
🐑Are ewe planning a visit the Royal Cornwall Show?
🚜Don’t forget we’ve lifted our planned roadworks on the A30 this weekend to keep traffic moo-ving.

@davebeel We are doing some trials with a different way of using our @Icom_UK repeaters to improve coverage over difficult terrain by going old school. We are going to journal our journey here on X.
Our communications team from Wiltshire, Devon and Cornwall have been out this weekend testing equipment and coverage across various areas ahead of this year's event season. Where were we today?
A very hot day providing @SJAWestComms control services to fellow volunteers at @fromecheeseshow in Somerset - really lovely day with a great team and a fab set up once more in the back of WR141! 🎙🚑🧀🤕📡
