⚠️IMPORTANT INFO: Please RT: During the dry spell its important to remember dangers of swimming in quarry water. The greatest danger is cold water. Quarry water is much colder than rivers, lakes and the sea. More info: nidirect.gov.uk/articles/sta…

Sky News were out with us on Thursday night getting a feeling for how current pressures are impacting upon us in Control and out on the road. This impact is felt by staff and by patients. Thanks to @skydavidblevins and team for their time. news.sky.com/story/northern-…

On average in Northern Ireland there are around 13 acts of aggression against ambulance staff per week (2021/22). NIAS has today commenced a pilot of Body Worn Video Cameras for violence prevention and reduction purposes. More info on our website nias.hscni.net/wp-content/up…

#StopTheAbuseNow has focussed on the impact of physical assaults. However, while the physical wounds may heal quickly, there is often a lasting impact emotionally & psychologically. Robert is an EMT & has talked openly & honestly about this. @healthdpt youtu.be/sa3PmbvnlLc
