Evening all.

Just an update on our volunteer's continuos committment to provide care and comfort to persons and families facing medical challenge's.
On every activation we engaged with NAS personnel who represent every quality that is
expected from frontline responders. We thank them for the support and courtesy shown to us.

On thursday evening March 5th we meet with Castleblayney
CFR group to refresh in a very specialised area which is a vital skill that responders require.

Our 4 new volunteer's are now fully qualified and uniformed which allows them to be part of a very special group. We wish them well.

Again thank you for your support and if you , your company or employer may be in a position to support our group financially please feel free to contact us. By the end of March we will have 3 new public access AED'S in secure temperature controlled cabinets thanks to Public generosity.

Have you or your company got an AED on your premises whether private or commercial. Have you got it registered with Nas (national ambulance service). Doing this could give someone in cardiac arrest a better chance of survival. You can click the link below and it only takes a few minutes to complete. If you are interested in getting an AED feel free to contact me and I can help you source one to suit your needs and also provide training for you or your staff.

Please take a few minutes to take our survey.
