⚠️Urgent appeal to the public A combination of the cold weather, busy hospitals & the likely impact of the health service strikes are all contributing factors to the challenges the service is facing. 👇Details below ow.ly/i1Qq50M5iSA

#HelpUsToHelpYou this winter. If you’re waiting for an ambulance, please do not ring back to ask for an estimated arrival time, as we simply can’t provide one. Only call back if the patient’s condition gets worse or you no longer need our help. youtube.com/watch?v=1NToHWMq…
Day 2 of the @futurequals course today for our new @devoncfr recruits covering medical conditions amongst other if you would like to become a CFR look on our website swast.nhs.uk/welcome/communi…

Tonight we were honoured to attend the annual @swasFT awards night @StMellion & watch some of the @devoncfr amongst other receive awards for their contribution to making @swasFT a great place to work & volunteer and to see our very own Katherine win an award as well

Our thoughts are with all the @BASICS_HQ team and Tim’s family at this difficult time.
It is with great sadness that we heard tonight of the death after a short illness of @BASICS_HQ & @liveshq stalwart Tim Nuttall. Tim was a regular mbr of our teaching faculties & past educational facilitator. Our thoughts are with his wife Kiki, his friends & his family.
As today is #EmergencyServicesDay, we wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to those who work & volunteer in the emergency services across the country. 🚑🚓🚒 Especially to all of #TeamSWASFT for their commitment and hard work - we couldn’t do it without you!💚 @Will_SWASFT #Team999
