Sessay Community First Responders

Sessay Community First Responders Sessay Community First Responders were established in July 2010 and work in partnership with the Yorkshire Ambulance Service in our local area.

As authorised volunteers for the ambulance service we work as part of a dedicated team whose aim is to reduce the number of pre-hospital deaths in Yorkshire. We are trained by YAS in Basic Life Support, CPR, use of Oxygen and the Defibrillator. In many medical emergencies, the first few minutes are critical and if effective treatment can be provided within that time, lives can be saved, and that's

where we come in. We all have full time jobs but believe what we are doing is a real benefit to our local community. We not only cover the village of Sessay but also, Dalton, Topcliffe, Bagby, Thornaby, Helperby and all areas in between.

As most people start their Christmas holidays today just a quick reminder that the YAS CFR Volunteers from your local schemes (Sessay and YAS CFR Thirsk) will still be providing cover throughout the festive season and will respond if required.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish our local community a healthy and safe Christmas and New Year.

December has proved to be a busy month as expected with lots of ill patients seen. Cold and flu viruses are hitting hard and unfortunately we as a team have not escaped them either.

Its really important that during this period when extra demand is being placed on the 999 system that it doesn't get abused. Remember use 111 or local pharmacies for non urgent care and leave 999 for medical emergencies.
