Remembrance Sunday

Today, we pause to honour all those who have served, sacrificed, and given their lives in the pursuit of peace and freedom.
We remember the courage of the fallen, the strength of the wounded, and the resilience of those who continue to serve today.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning we will remember them.

๐ŸšจScenario Sunday!๐Ÿšจ

๐Ÿฉบ Scenario: Youโ€™re out at dinner with friends. Suddenly, your friend starts struggling to breathe, grabbing their throat, and canโ€™t speak. The restaurant goes silent as panic sets in. What would you do?

๐Ÿš‘ Step-by-Step Response:
1๏ธโƒฃ Ask if They are Choking โ€“ If they can talk, tell them to cough, and keep them trying to clear the blockage.
2๏ธโƒฃ Back Blows โ€“ If they canโ€™t breathe or speak, deliver up to 5 firm back blows between their shoulder blades.
3๏ธโƒฃ Abdominal Thrusts โ€“ If back blows donโ€™t work, stand behind them, make a fist above their belly button, and pull sharply inward and upward (up to 5 times).
4๏ธโƒฃ Alternate โ€“ Continue 5 back blows, 5 thrusts until the object comes out or they become unresponsive.
5๏ธโƒฃ Call 999 โ€“ If they lose consciousness, call for help immediately and begin CPR if necessary.
