The exploits of two of our paramedics and their colleagues at Stoke Hub will be highlighted on Friday night at the BBC Radio Stoke ‘Make a Difference’ Awards. Matt Harrison and Ryan Slater have been nominated in the ‘Call of Duty’ category for their work organising the Hub Football team over the last five years. Ryan said: “Win or lose, everyone should be proud of what we have achieved; We have all worked together to raise thousands of pounds for charity. Long may the team and our fundraising continue.” The Awards will be broadcast live on Friday night between 7.00pm and 9.00pm from the Mitchell Arts Centre in Stoke on Trent on BBC Radio Stoke.

After almost two weeks of hard work, it is day one of assessments for one of our new groups of 111 call assessors. This is ahead of us taking over the NHS 111 service in the West Midlands (not Staffordshire) next month. Good luck to everyone involved 🤞#nhs #111 #west #midlands #assessment #day #good #luck

It's been a busy morning across the West Midlands with hundreds of our staff and volunteers out and about helping to teach children how to do CPR as part of Restart a Heart Day. This fantastic initiative helps to create thousands of potential lifesavers, all of whom will be armed with the skills to begin treating someone in cardiac arrest....would you be able to do the same? We don't just want youngsters to learn what to do, we want everyone to learn. What better day than Restart a Heart Day to find out how you could save a life? https://www.bhf.org.uk/how-you-can-help/how-to-save-a-life/how-to-do-cpr #restartaheartday #cpr #schools #children #staff #volunteers #save #a #life #cardiac #arrest

Coventry crew Jake & Georgie were obviously doing something right whilst on shift, as they were given treats by two consecutive patients. But Jake decided he should share the wealth a little, so decided to donate his chocolates to his nan, how sweet! 😊 #bluelighthappy #chocolate #treats

It's horrific to realise that just 7% of people having a cardiac arrest will survive. #RestartAHeartDay, which takes place tomorrow, will see thousands of people trianed in this #lifesaving skill. Cardiac arrest survior Mark and his wife Jenny say we all need to learn what to do.

Imagine what you would feel like if you had saved someone's life because you knew how to do #CPR. Cardiac arrest survivor Mark and his wife Jenny had the chance to meet the ambulance crews who saved Mark's life. They say it was an amazing experience to meet the #lifesavers

Tomorrow, thousands of people will learn how to do #CPR on #RestartAHeartDay. Mark had a cardiac arrest whilst holidaying in a caravan. He survived because people started CPR almost immediately. That only happens in about half of cases in the UK. Learning CPR could save a life:

Five people have been hurt after a car crashed, uprooting a tree, leaving the car on its side. Five ambulances, the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance and a paramedic officer were sent to the scene after the crash at lunchtime today near Bedworth. A man and two women were taken to hospital in Coventry with potentially serious injuries. Another man and a women were taken to the local hospital in Nuneaton with less serious injuries.

Paramedic Lisa has spent the last few days vaccinating colleagues with the flu jab 💉 “This protects themselves, their family and many patients we come into contact with - it’s the best #protection we have. If you are in an at risk group, #haveyouhadyours ?” #flufighter #NHS

In Norway, 73% of people having a cardiac arrest get CPR from a bystander with 25% surviving. In the UK, only 50% get CPR and just 7% survive. One of those survivors is Mark - he survived because CPR was started almost immediately. His wife Jenny say no-one expected it:
