Great session last night focusing on bandaging and haemorrhage control 💪

Members got hands-on practice managing bleeding, applying dressings, and working through realistic scenarios to build confidence and speed in emergency situations.

Strong effort from everyone involved – skills like these make a real difference when it matters most 👏

☘️ Proud to be out supporting the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Clane today ☘️

A fantastic day with our team on duty, helping keep the community safe while everyone enjoyed the celebrations 🇮🇪🚑

Great to see such a strong turnout and brilliant atmosphere across the town. Fair play to all involved in organising such a great event 👏

Day 1 of our EFR Recert complete ✔️🚑

A strong day revising the core skills that make the difference on scene. We covered Primary and Secondary Survey 🔍, refreshed Pharmacology 💊, worked through Bleeding and Shock 🩸, and sharpened our approach to Musculoskeletal Injuries 🦴.

Great engagement from the group with plenty of discussion and practical application throughout 👏

Back at it in two weeks 💪🚑

Some night for it 🌧️

Our crew were out covering the Kildare v Derry match in St Conleth’s, and to say we “braved the elements” is putting it politely. It was cold, wet and fairly miserable… but that’s what we do.

The team just got on with it as always, keeping an eye on the crowd and players and making sure everyone was looked after.

There was soup. There were sandwiches. Morale improved significantly after both. Operational planning at its finest.

As always its great to work with our colleagues in Red Cross NKT. Good teamwork, a bit of craic, and another match covered safely.

Fair play to everyone who stood out in that weather tonight 👏🚑

Thanks to everyone who continues to volunteer their time and support the branch. From training nights to event duties, it’s the commitment of our members that keeps Clane Red Cross active in the community.

Two of our Clane Red Cross members are in Portlaoise this weekend completing the Safeguarding Trainers Course. The safety and wellbeing of our teams is paramount, and having more members trained in safeguarding helps us support each other and the community even better.

Best of luck to them both over the weekend.
