Although storm Eunice may have passed our team is still busy attending LRF and partner agency meetings representing St John Ambulance England ready to support if required to those who have lost power. Recovery will still be ongoing long after the news stop reporting. #StormEunice

This week I delivered a live baby abduction exercise at our AWP Mental Health mother &baby unit with Avon and Somerset Police and North Bristol NHS Trust to validate their plan. Some great learning that wasn’t picked up on during TTX’s, shows the importance of the review cycle! Thanks to all involved! #awpeprr
