If you see someone with any of the signs or symptoms of a stroke, remember to Act F.A.S.T.
F – Face (has their face fallen on one side?)
A – Arms (can they raise both arms and keep them there?)
S – Speech (is it slurred?)
T – Time to call 999 ☎️🚑

A simple chat could be life saving 🗣️
If you're worried about a loved one and think they might be having a hard time, why not give them a call and talk about #mentalhealth - it might be the best thing you can do for someone who is struggling 💚

Presumably people know about the ‘OpenDyslexic’ button on JRCALC App which changes the font style?? You can also change line spacing and ‘bold’ text. Very helpful!!

If you're struggling with suicidal thoughts, please know that you're not alone. There is help available. You can reach out to a crisis hotline, talk to your GP, or visit a mental health professional. Please don't hesitate to ask for help. You deserve to be happy and healthy.
If you think someone may be considering #suicide, remember:
🔸 Many people think about suicide at some point in their lives
🔸 Suicidal thoughts and behaviours are signs of severe emotional distress - not weakness
🔸 It is possible to get better

Did you know that all ambulance services across the UK are now using the same defibrillator database? If you're a guardian for a defib in a public place, community or business please register it on the circuit to help save lives.

A strong message here is that we should not be normalising bad care.
It's the wrong question to ask how we improve care on corridors or ambulances, we should just stop doing it. It's bad care and leads to death and increased morbidity.
