Hi, ER Doc here. RT if you’ve ever done CPR on someone and they survived. Trying to prove something.

“We tell people it is better to do CPR on somebody who doesn’t need it than not do it on somebody who does." Great piece in today's The Irish Times on the importance of bystander CPR and our amazing Community First Responders. Read it here: bit.ly/47e2X6k

“I can’t thank them enough. I would definitely encourage people to start Community First Responder Groups where they are needed, especially in rural parts of the country.” Sligo marathon runner Molua Donohoe’s life was recently saved by the combined CPR actions of his 18-year-old

Irish Volunteers contribute €1 billion worth of time to Irish charities each year 👏 #NVAIRC2023 @voluntireland

Please take heed of what our colleagues in the Dublin Fire Brigade advise and let emergency workers do our work and go home safe.

Margaret Andrews, a committed Trustee of CRY Ireland and a first responder, shares vital insights on the importance of using a defibrillator in a cardiac event. Margaret emphasises the critical role of the first minutes in saving lives. Take a moment to learn from her.💙

Do you know the symptoms of a heart attack? If you ever suspect the symptoms of a heart attack, dial 999 or 112 immediately and ask for an ambulance.

Delighted a CFR has captured the Volunteer of the Year Award! - Gary is a member of Dalkey CFR, and is a worthy winner. Also congrats to catagory winner Dermot Moore of Avoca CFR who won, for his role in Scouts & First Response. Not a bad night for community first response!

Not all superheroes wear a cape - Gary Hayes just won the Volunteer of the Year 2023 with @voluntireland - Gary saves lives. Literally. From age 17, he’s been part of Dunbar RNLI Lifeboat rushing to sea 24/7 - 365 when there’s a need. #IfEveryoneDid like Gary… #IVD2023 Irish Aid

Hugely inspired by these students foray into pre hospital emergency care supports. In-depth, actionable ideas that can make a real difference in high stress situations. Wisdom beyond years. #ACT #BTYSTE Ger O Dea Amanda Ross Jonathan Lynch Irish Red Cross

With 70% of cardiac arrests happening in the home , chances are it will be a loved one or someone you know who you will need perform CPR on. Little did paramedic Kieran Minihane know that at a family wedding he would find himself resuscitating his sister Eithne in her hotel room.

Roses are red, Violets are blue, Our love for CFRs, forever true, They rush to aid, in moments askew, Heartbeats restored, by their skill they brew. #LivesavingCommunities

It seemed everything was getting better last week. My brilliant husband was recovering from the cardiac arrest that very nearly killed him. He’d finally got home from hospital. Then his heart stopped again. We were in bed. I was the only one there. All he had.

Terenure College RFC Brilliant!! Our DLSP FC u16 have two Eagles, Luke & Finn, helping us out all season. They are a key part of the back room staff. We’d be lost without them! Finn is playing with the MARI's Rugby in Cork this weekend too against Sundays Well RFC Rebels

We'd like to congratulate Catriona Edgar and wish her the very best of luck in the Capt. Dara Fitzpatrick Award this evening. Catriona epitomises the very best of NAS so it's no surprise at all to us that she is a finalist in tonight's award!
