Here’s a snapshot of the numbers that made up our emergency response in July.

Over 50% of emergency calls to 999 were handled without a trip to A&E through management on scene, alternative pathways, and remote clinical triage.

Over 3,000 people in Scotland have an out of hospital cardiac arrest every year and every second counts. The public can help by dialling 999, starting CPR – or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation - and using a defibrillator it can help save lives.

💙🚑 Spreading Sweetness & Smiles! 🚑💙

Last week, one of our amazing volunteer Community First Responders (CFRs) made a special visit to University Hospital Wishaw with a very sweet mission — delivering sweetbags to our hardworking Ambulance Crews! 🍬🍫

It’s just a small way to say a BIG thank you for the incredible care, compassion, and commitment they show every single day. 💪💚

A huge shoutout to our CFRs who go above and beyond — not just in emergencies, but also in lifting spirits and showing appreciation across our NHS family.

Kindness is contagious. Let’s keep it going! 🥰

🌟 THANK YOU! 🌟

A massive thank you to everyone who came along and supported our Family Fun Day on the 5th of July — what a day it was! 🎉

Thanks to your generosity and enthusiasm, we raised over £700, which will go directly towards supporting our amazing Volunteers with new kit and uniform. Your support truly makes a difference! 💪🧥

We’re incredibly grateful to the British Army and Emergency Services for their presence and continued support — you helped make the day extra special. 🚓🚑🪖

A special shoutout to Epic Funhouse - Nerf Battle Arena and Luna Jane for bringing the fun and fantastic energy — we loved having you with us! 🎮🎤

We were incredibly lucky that The Lord Cornet Edward Pringle was able to join us also, thank you for your support 🙏 💚🫶

And of course, a very special mention to Michael Dickson of the Scottish Ambulance Service, who heroically restored our coordinator to full working order using nothing but a well-aimed wet sponge... Rumour has it they're still drying off. 💦😅

Thank you all once again for making it such a fantastic day — we couldn’t have done it without you! ❤️
