@EMAS_CFR @EMASNHSTrust @N_NorthantsCFR @SNCResponders @NeneValleyCFR Welcome to the team all...

Congratulations to our new Northamptonshire CFRs who have qualified today, as Level 2 Responders! Well done all, best of luck on the road! 🚑💙🤩@EMASNHSTrust @N_NorthantsCFR @SNCResponders @NeneValleyCFR

We have Rupert out in the response car today. It's a little bit gusty... Please be careful if you're out and about. There's lots of detritus lying around. @ Northampton, Northamptonshire instagram.com/p/CaPI7tGI5KO/…

We urge people in the region to avoid going outside unless it's absolutely necessary and if you have no choice, prepare properly and take great care: metoffice.gov.uk/weather/warnin… Residents near the Lincolnshire coast should be extra vigilant of large waves and stay away from the sea.

FACT: If you call 999 but are not experiencing a life-threatening emergency, you may not have an ambulance sent to you immediately or at all. This is because we prioritise patients whose life is at threat. For example, someone who is reported to be experiencing a cardiac arrest.

Rural Northants responding has its benefits, beauty, tranquillity, and sheep... All on a lovely job assisting @emasnhstrust @ Northampton, Northamptonshire instagram.com/p/CW3VOERoNEI/…

We have Rupert out in CFR31 assisting @emasnhstrust providing emergency cover across Northamptonshire today. It's a lovely autumnal morning out there, to enjoy your day. @ Northamptonshire instagram.com/p/CWSnS0WogDH/…

Even when we are not actually on duty, we are always ready to respond to a call for help #GoodSam supporting @emasnhstrust #rural #emergency #middleofthenight @ Northampton, Northamptonshire instagram.com/p/CVCiANqohIE/…

Nearly a third of UK adults wouldn't attempt CPR if they saw someone in cardiac arrest according to The British Heart Foundation. This is why 15th October and Restart a Heart Day exists. Get trained, become a life saver, you can do it. #RestartAHeart @EMASNHSTrust
