Yesterday AeroMed01 attended a RTC, landing was pictured by our own ICO crew from Limerick.

Any idea where this rural spot might be?

Call 112 or 999 immediately and ask for an ambulance if your child becomes unresponsive when choking.

The emergency calltaker will guide you through how to give CPR. If you see the object during CPR, remove it - never place your fingers in the mouth if you can't see the object.

Glaoigh ar 112 nó ar 999 láithreach má cheapann tú go bhfuil taom croí nó stróc ag teacht ort féin nó ar dhuine eile, nó go bhfuil tú féin nó duine eile go dona tinn nó gortaithe nó i mbaol báis.

A great example of the Chain of Survival.... A neighbour who learnt CPR at a community training course run by Edenderry CFR, provided Bystander CPR prior to the arrival of the AED and CFR group ahead of the ambulance.

Venous ThromboEmbolism (VTE, blood clots) is the most common preventable cause of in-hospital death.

The ability of ambulance practitioners to recognise and manage VTE symptoms may be the difference between life and death for a patient.

On Wednesday NAS took part in a training exercise involving the transfer of a “patient” with a High Consequence Infectious Disease.

Sims are an important part of our training, practicing the process with others including the Mater Hospital Trauma team.

Thanks to all who were involved!
