Every day, thousands of frontline workers carry invisible wounds.
The shift may have ended — but the flashbacks, nightmares, and anxiety don’t clock off.

PTSD isn’t weakness. It’s a natural response to trauma.
It’s what happens when the mind has seen too much and the heart has held it all in for too long.

Let’s break the silence. Let’s talk about it.
Because healing begins the moment someone feels seen, heard, and believed.

If you’re struggling, you are not alone.
Reach out. Talk. Share. There is always help — and always hope.

Today I had the honour of representing my 'other job' at Chester Cathedral remembrance service, laying a wreath on behalf of North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust.

Love this. While in the UK we do not check for a pulse the sentiment is the same.
Recognition of a cardiac arrest is vital as is calling for help

If person (adult) is unconscious and either not breathing or has infrequent irregular gasps we need to start CPR.

THESE GASPS ARE NOT BREATHS - THIS IS A CARDIAC ARREST

So
1) Shout for help

2) Call 999 - put your mobile on speakerphone so you're hands free

3) Start CPR - the ambulance services will talk you through how to do this - Even if you know how

4) when someone else arrives, get an AED . The ambulance service will tell you where the nearest one is if you don't know. They will also give you the access code if there is one.
DO NOT LEAVE THE CASUALTY ON THEIR OWN TO GET AN AED

5) keep going for as long you can if on your own, or swap frequently (max every TWO minutes) if more than one rescuers.

DO YOUR BEST - thats all anyone can ask of you.

REMEMBER :
CPR /AED = Chance of living

NO CPR/AED = GUARANTEED DEATH.

Wirral Hospice St John's Cheryl and your team did you proud. This was our 2nd walk through

As some of you are already aware, I managed to get roped into doing a charity fire walk for this amazing charity Wirral Hospice St John's .
I only turned up to support their staff and supporters who were already raising money.
But what a privilege it was to join in and a massive thank you to all the amazing fundraising team at the hospice, the fire guys (and lady) who made the night as fun and safe as walking on 1100 degree coals could be.
I realise times are tight, Christmas etc around the corner but of anyone can spare a £ or 2 for this amazing cause, I would be eternally grateful.
Many thanks

Help Neil Hayward raise money to support Wirral Hospice St John's

🏘️ Could we find your house in an emergency?
🌙 Longer nights make it more difficult to find an address in the dark.
✅ Make sure your house number is clear and visible from the road.
❗ It could make all the difference.
