Did you know when you call 999 the first knock at the door may be a CFR?.CFRs often arrive ahead of the Ambulance and provide initial care & assessment which can include Basic Life Support, Defibrillation, O2 therapy, Nebulisation, Haemorrhage Control amongst other treatment. JH

Six students arrived this morning to take the final assessments on the CFR Course in Nottinghamshire. As the day went on the number of students got smaller, interestingly by the end of the day we had no students left, But we did have Six newly qualified CFR's. RB.

We are so incredibly proud of all our CFRs who volunteer and not only do responding in their own time but attend team meetings, training and raise funds for their localities. One persons perspective is thankfully not represented by the majority from the support we’ve seen today.
#ThankYou to our @EMAS_CFR They book on duty in their free time & are often able to help their community within minutes using their training & equipment to provide basic life support to patients while the ambulance crew arrives #Proud #SavingLivesTogether

Nearly a third of UK adults wouldn't attempt CPR if they saw someone in cardiac arrest according to The British Heart Foundation. This is why 15th October and Restart a Heart Day exists. Get trained, become a life saver, you can do it. #RestartAHeart @EMASNHSTrust
