Injury units can help with many of the injuries people go to the emergency department for. For example, broken bones, dislocations, and burns.
Many are open over weekends and on bank holidays.

Community First Responders are trained to attend certain types of emergency calls in the area where they live or work. Their aim is to reach a potential life threatening emergency in the first vital minutes before the ambulance crew arrives.

If you call 112/999 but then no longer need an ambulance, contact us and let us know so that we can prioritise our resources to life threatening calls.
We attended @AmbulanceNAS Vol Recognition Awards in Galway.
It was a great opportunity to catch up with local #CFRGroups and #GardaCFR, as well as meet with the Engagement Team

CFR groups operate on a voluntary basis and are trained in basic life support and the use of defibrillators. They are made up of lay people with an interest in providing life-saving support in their communities.

It's great that people are not afraid to grab a public access AED. If you think you need one, grab one! 3 of our AED'S were deployed by members of the public in last few days. Thankfully none were needed. instagram.com/p/CZfMATDIAPg/…
