As most people start their Christmas holidays today just a quick reminder that the YAS CFR Volunteers from your local schemes (Sessay and YAS CFR Thirsk) will still be providing cover throughout the festive season and will respond if required.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish our local community a healthy and safe Christmas and New Year.

December has proved to be a busy month as expected with lots of ill patients seen. Cold and flu viruses are hitting hard and unfortunately we as a team have not escaped them either.

Its really important that during this period when extra demand is being placed on the 999 system that it doesn't get abused. Remember use 111 or local pharmacies for non urgent care and leave 999 for medical emergencies.

Another weather warning has been issued for extreme weather (cold/freezing conditions) with the chance of snow. Yorkshire is mentioned as an area likely to be affected.

Community First Responders (CFRs) are volunteers who are trained to provide life-saving treatment to patients in the vital first few minutes of an emergency until our ambulance crew arrives.

When a 999 call is received in our Emergency Operations Centre, an ambulance response is dispatched. At the same time, a CFR on-call in the area can be alerted and asked to attend the incident to ensure that help reaches the patient as quickly as possible.

Become a CFR in your local community https://www.yas.nhs.uk/join-our-team/current-vacancies/ #!/job/UK/West_Yorkshire/Throughout_Yorkshire/Yorkshire_Ambulance_Service_NHS_Trust/Volunteer/Volunteer-v4854114?_ts=10714

The cold winter weather has arrived an dis expected to get worse over the week. Please take care when out and about.

We have seen an increase in calls the past few weeks as the 'winter bugs' take hold. Please check in on those more vulnerable at this time of year.
