CPR and defibrillator training

Tonight sees our second session of our first groups free fully accredited (with certificate on completion) first aid with CPR and defibrillator training.
Following a medical emergency within the area there is a raised awareness of its importance and we as a group want to help. The first 5 minutes after a cardiac arrest are the most crucial and with immediate treatment before paramedics arrive, it can vastly improve the outcome for the person.
We will be in touch with the remaining residents in the second group when the date is confirmed. A big thank you to Barry “Baz” Hamilton.
In loving memory of David “Richy” Richmond ❤️

First aid

Our group is providing free fully accredited (with certificate on completion) first aid with CPR and defibrillator training to residents of Rathcoole.
Following a medical emergency within the area there is a raised awareness of its importance and we as a group want to help. The first 5 minutes after a cardiac arrest are the most crucial and with immediate treatment before paramedics arrive, it can vastly improve the outcome for the person.
We are already over subscribed for our first 2 sessions and will be providing more. If you are interested and can commit to two 2 hour training sessions on two back to back evenings (dates TBC) please contact our page privately. In loving memory of David “Richy” Richmond ❤️

Happy new year

Happy new year folks on behalf of the Whitehouse.
Quick fact: Did you sing the traditional “Auld Lang Syne” at the stroke of midnight? Did you know it is a Scots-language poem sung worldwide and was written by Robert Burns in 1788?
We hope you have a safe and enjoyable one.
