One of our volunteers received a pin badge recently as recognition of their involvement in a successful resuscitation of a patient whose heart had stopped.
They replied telling us this story
I qualified as a CFR at the in September as I needed a new focus and challenge after the loss of my husband of many years.
The role has given me the opportunity to give back to our community and meet some amazing people along the way. It really has been life changing.
Thank you so much to my Yorkshire Ambulance trainers, the training weekends were fantastic. We had a great intake with people from all different backgrounds.
All the crews and the ambulance dispatch staff have been so helpful and have made me feel hugely welcomed. Cheers everyone!
This was my first cardiac arrest, which was followed closely by a second a few days later and then a third a few days after that!!
I have learnt so much and feel so grateful to be a part of this amazing team. You are all awesome!!
A final huge thanks must go to my mentor and partner volunteer Morgan who has been with me on all of these jobs. He really is the best teacher, guide and support. He offers his time, commitment and passion to the CFR role selflessly. Always wanting to help others ❤️
Well done to you all, you’re the BEST!!
