More people die of sepsis in Ireland than heart attacks and stroke. Sepsis can hide behind any infection. It is treated most effectively if recognised early, so it's important to know the symptoms so that you don't miss the signs.

Cold weather can cause Asthma to flare up and many of the colds going around can also exacerbate respiratory symptoms. If you're having an asthma attack, your inhaler isn't helping and you can't breathe, call 999 or 112. Never be afraid to call for help in an emergency.

Community Engagement Officer John McShane recently presented Lorraine Dolan with a recognition award in Claremorris in recognition of her lifesaving actions last Christmas. An incredible example of the importance of knowing CPR.

Busy weekend? 😴 Did you know that driver fatigue contributes to one in five fatal crashes in Ireland yearly. Tiredness-related collisions are three times more likely to be fatal or result in serious injury. Remember: Stop, sip, and sleep if you're feeling tired on the road.
