A great occasion today ,but tinged with sadness as we officially open the Ross Murphy memorial garden in DSC station. In memory of all NAS staff no longer with us. @AmbulanceNAS @PeopleofHSE

Thanks to Abbey O'Brien for this amazing art piece done for Kildare Town CFR group. We have to agree with Abbey, it takes a big heart to be a CFR volunteer and we are so thankful for all the volunteer responders across the CFR network.

Best Wishes to Con Murphy who has retired from @AmbulanceNAS after 25 years of service. Con worked for the last two years with @PathfinderUHW as part of the Pathfinder Alternative Care Pathways team. 1/2

Last week, NAS attended a Road Safety event and demo in Fermoy, Cork. Pictured here with the group are RTC survivor Mark, and Leo, father of an RTC victim. Thanks to Paramedics Cian and Mark, and Community Engagement Officer Stephen who attended the event.

delighted to work with HSE Primary Care Nursing Teams from across the Island Communities in the North and West regions to deliver an Emergency First Responder course. Island Nurses work closely with the Ambulance Service in responding to emergency calls on the Islands.

From Acorns grow big trees. 20 years ago the First CFR Group was formed in Dunlavin, Co Wicklow. The National CFR network has over 300 groups with 4000 responders helping their local community by providing immediate care to assist @AmbulanceNAS patients rte.ie/news/leinster/…

John Joe McGowan and Finbarr Heenan from NAS recently participated in the annual cross border Humanitarian Disaster Assistance Course held at the Curragh, Co Kildare. The course is always a great opportunity to consolidate and build on the team's existing skills.

Congratulations to David O’Malley of Edenderry CFR, who this weekend won the Safety & Emergency Services Award at the @voluntireland Awards 2024! We're delighted to see the incredible work done by our CFRs recognised 👏👏👏

Our @Community_NAS Engagement Officer Stephen presented Killarney CRU volunteer Bridget with a small token to recognise her incredible work after she recently attended her 1000th incident. Well done to Bridget and all in Killarney for their continuing dedication to the community

Say hello to the new @autismdogsirl puppies - including little Nas! Each of the services was tasked with naming a puppy, who at 8 weeks old have just begun their training with families around Ireland. Event held at AADI HQ in Cork with Ger O'Dea, Cian O'Callaghan and Ian Ring.

A few pictures from the student recruitment expo in Tullamore yesterday. It's always great to talk to interested young people about their future and all the exciting opportunities ahead!

Managers from NAS Operations Support and EPRR met with our counterparts from @NIAS999 and visited the @NIFRSOFFICIAL Learning & Development College in Cookstown this week. We plan to continue promoting cross-border interoperability in the planning and response to emergencies.

Stephen of @Community_NAS was in Killarney with members of the Kerry Deaf Group recently, for a workshop on improving access to Emergency Services. He demonstrated how to access the 112 emergency text service, as well CPR and using an AED while highlighting the visual markers.

@NAS_Waterford @donnchadhf Wonderful to see a focus on community care.

Well done to the #Dungarvan CFR group & our own @donnchadhf dropping into the Deise Day Care Centre to provide plenty of tips on safety in the home and a CPR & AED demo . Great group of #volunteers

@loc8code @donnchadhf @Eircode @AmbulanceNAS @NAS_Waterford @Community_NAS @SouthEastCH Well done Donnchadh and Team. Great to see such voluntary commitment.

@donnchadhf @Eircode @AmbulanceNAS @Jon_Community @NAS_Waterford @Community_NAS @SouthEastCH For these or younger people even, "knowing" an Eircode is not important at all Donnchadh! If you're unconscious having learned your eircode is of little use. Checking it & putting on a sign for all to access is what's actually important. A guide here - checkyourcode.ie

Dungarvan CFR Group were delighted to be invited into Déise Day Centre today to have a chat with some of there members about the importance of knowing there @Eircode and about having a panic alarm on them incase they need some assistance when they are at home alone.

Despite the profound sense of sadness & loss, it was an absolute privilege to attend @UL today to witness Yvonne, Niall & Aoife collect the graduation scroll for their son / brother & @AmbulanceNAS paramedic Ross Murphy (RiP) who is no longer with us. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
