As a recent recruit have nothing but paise 4 support available to the Community 1st Responder. Yes can be scary, requires thinking on your feet and SO humbling to be there 4 someone (+ maybe their family/carer/friends) at a very tough time. But I feel held too. #CFR #NWAS #DOit

Could you remain calm enough to do CPR and use a defibrillator on a patient in their hour of need? If so, @NWAmbulance are now recruiting Community First Responders in #Cumbria and #Lancashire Full training provided #CFR #NHS #Ambulance website: nwascfr.com

Did 1st aid course earlier in year, paid 4 by my Tri Club, assuming use with athletes. Today, whilst out for lunch revived a man who was choking. So glad 4 course, alternative outcome unthinkable. Thank you trilakeland.com #1staid #jfdi


Same age and common stuff!!! 🙄 Phenomenal responses, to an ill-thought enquiry. Wow


While large companies are launching their Christmas ads, here’s one that is less jolly, but jolly poignant non the less. Thank you @age_uk for raising the importance of loneliness & social isolation. How might your next few months planning be adapted to give this consideration?

This Christmas, meet Fred. 💜 Fred's story symbolises the 1.2 million older people in the UK who often feel lonely. We're determined to be there for all. Whoever you watch life’s moments with, tell them how much it means to be with them. #MeetFred: bit.ly/3htIVjl



Can you get imposter syndrome in your sporting life too?? So, maybe it wasn’t just luck the first couple of times 🙄🤭🤷🏼‍♀️ #crosstriathlon #xtri @TriEngland
