Slightly quieter than Friday night, but still four patients in for various reasons from needing a plaster to a medical condition. @SCAS999 @ThamesVP @StreetPastorsRG #partnershipworking

Another busy Friday night for the Paramedic & First Stop volunteer. Six patients seen, one sutured, no need to go to A&E the rest of the patients cared for & transport arranged to get everyone home. 😊@SCAS999 @ThamesVP @ReadingCouncil @bid

When these ladies are on duty at the Safe Space, it usually means one thing, it’s going to be busy!! 🤣 it was a steady night with injuries which were able to be dealt with by the paramedic rather than going to A&E #partnershipworking @SCAS999 @ThamesVP @ReadingCouncil

Very different night last night in comparison to Friday night. 6 patients into the Safe Space. One patient in for stitching & another head injury that did need to go to A & E Great collaborative working with @SCAS999 @ThamesVP @StreetPastorsRG

Early evening Tvp brought in a deliveroo cyclist to get a couple of stitches put in their chin & face cleaned up by the great paramedic team, slippery ice 🧊 was the cause. Shout out to security who was able to bridge the language barrier. Great partnership working. @SCAS999

Very busy night at the Safe Space, great team work with the paramedics & First Stop volunteers seeing 10 patients in total. Amazing initiative saving people from going to A & E, they can be seen & treated at the Safe Space by @SCAS999

Four people visited First Stop last night. A vital initiative to have in Reading town centre every Friday & Saturday night. @ReadingBID @ReadingCouncil @ThamesVP

First stop is open this evening from 21:00- 03:00 at the Safe Space. If you are in need of medical attention or a chat, pop in to the Safe Space next to Bills restaurant. 😊@ReadingBID @ReadingCouncil @SCAS999 @ThamesVP

Another busy Saturday night at the Safe Space. Sometimes people just need to come into just take some time out when it all gets a little too much. A first visit for Maurice the Cockapoo with his humans. Thank you so much to the Paramedic & FS volunteers who were amazing.@SCAS999

It was a wet & windy Friday night but that didn’t deter people coming into town. Busy night with four people attending the First Stop last night. @SCAS999 @ReadingCouncil @ThamesVP @ReadingBID

Two very different nights at the Safe Space, Friday was Q & Saturday was busy for the First Stop volunteer with intox patients. 😊@SCAS999 @ReadingCouncil @ReadingBID

A relatively quiet weekend for the paramedics & volunteers this weekend. But most patients brought in don’t have to go to hospital so it is an amazing service that is available every Friday & Saturday in Reading town centre from 21:00-03:00 @SCAS999 @TVPReading @ReadingCouncil

A busy night for the volunteers & paramedic last night. Four patients in, one just for a chat,the other patients needed a little more care so they were able to get home safely. Great team work as always with the @SCAS999 team. @ReadingCouncil @ReadingBID

When you pre load & then can’t get into any venues, where’s a safe place to sober up? Yes, the Reading Safe Space! 😊 Great to have paramedics that can deal with facial injuries rather than patients having to go to A & E. 👍🏻 @SCAS999 @ReadingBID @ReadingCouncil @ThamesVP

Quiet night on Friday but made up for that on Saturday! 5/6 six patients seen by @SCAS999 & @firststopteam 😊 @ReadingCouncil @ReadingBID

New signage put up today by @imagebox @bid @SCAS999 @ReadingCouncil @ThamesVP

The First Stop volunteers & paramedics were on duty last night. A varied evening from giving a coffee to a homeless person, strapping an injured foot to dealing with an intox person. It’s all in a nights work for the wonderful team. @SCAS999 @ReadingBID @ReadingCouncil @ThamesVP
