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.
