Peter Dale (Tubes) urges people to recognise the symptoms of a heart attack after experiencing one at 36-years-old.
The early symptoms of a heart attack don’t always feel severe. It’s never too early to call 999 and describe your symptoms. #HelpUsHelpYou nhs.uk/HeartAttack

This is the week I dread coming round on my rota - four 12 hour night shifts on the cardiac arrest car. I’ve had a 40 minute nap today & I’ve got a coffee bigger than my head - that should do it, right?! And please help us by following the rules & #StayAtHome 🚑
