This year if you’re heading out guising, trick or treating, or to a Halloween party, we’d like everyone to have 🧛‍♂️ fang-tastic fun whilst staying 👻 spook-tacularly safe!

Here are some ways you can enjoy Halloween whilst being safe:

🎃 Stay visible – wear reflective clothes and carry a torch when walking at night
🎃 Drive carefully – keep an eye out for guisers and trick or treaters
🎃 Keep calm and carve on – use appropriate tools for pumpkin carving and use LED tealights to light them to avoid open flames
🎃 Plan ahead – for adult Halloween partygoers, drink responsibly and plan your journey home before heading out

Help us by following the tips above and please only call 999 for life-threatening emergencies. For any other injuries, call 111. 🚑🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Meet the team 🚑

👋 Hi everyone! I’ve been a Community First Responder for just short 2 years now but never got round to introducing myself. I’m Paddy, and when I’m not out on call I work as an HGV driver. It’s a privilege to help support our community and be part of such a great team. 🚑💚

Meet the Team! 👋

This is Frank.

Frank has been a Community First Responder and Cardiac wildcat responder for scottish ambulance in our area since December 2022. In his spare time, he enjoys the outdoors and running.

🕊️ Today is International Overdose Awareness Day. 🕊️

We pause to remember the lives lost, support those grieving, and stand with our community in hope and action.

Our first responders are trained and equipped with naloxone kits – a life-saving tool that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. 💜

Together, we can help reduce stigma, spread awareness, and save lives.
