Great day at UN Training School supporting HDAC candidates. Thanks to Minister Nesbitt for attending to observe impressive demo by NIAS & NAS Specialist Response colleagues. Also our CAWT and AACE partners for facilitating NSSAR development. Cross-border partnership in practice.

Neighbourhood working brings care closer to home centred around patients- enabled by primary, community, social care and the voluntary sector. Ambulance services play a key role in supporting triage, treating in place, and connecting people into local pathways. @NIAS999

Great discussion at #ALF2026 on the shift towards neighbourhood care. Struck by Andy Knoxs' comments- reminder that real transformation comes from mobilising communities not rebadging existing services. Genuine partnership with communities can result in profound patient impact.

CPR and AED skills save lives. It is great to see our Community Resuscitation Team delivering lifesaving training and strengthening skills across local communities. Thanks to all involved.

Yesterday, our Community Resuscitation Team delivered CPR & AED awareness at Armagh Athletic Showgrounds for GAA coaches and staff from across the province. A great opportunity to share lifesaving skills and spread awareness into local communities. Thanks to all involved.

Timely discharge when patients are medically fit makes a real difference to ambulance availability. It frees up beds and helps our crews return to the road sooner to reach the next 999 patient. A whole system effort, thank you to everyone playing their part @NIAS999
South Eastern Trust@setrust

It is really vital that you leave hospital when you are medically fit. This frees up a bed for someone who is acutely unwell. When you or your loved one urgently needed admission to hospital, a patient was discharged to provide your bed. We are all in this together. Thank you

Falls are one of the most common reasons older people need our help in winter, and many can be prevented. This practical guidance from @AACE_org supports people to stay safe at home and know when to seek help. Please share. @NIAS999

This week’s podcast with Kieran Devine stands out for its sincerity, a reflection from someone who has performed many roles across NIAS but always leading. Kieran's experience across the frontline and control, especially during very different times in NI, is worth a listen.
