This week is Organ Donation Week. More people than ever are waiting for an organ transplant and every day, someone dies because they didn’t get the transplant they so badly needed.

Louise Double, who nearly died after a rare pregnancy complication is calling on Islanders to become organ donors after a transplant saved her life. https://bit.ly/4gADzgQ

One incident a day is one too many.

Six children of Health and Care Jersey workers are fronting a powerful campaign to help stop aggressive, violent and intimidating behaviour towards healthcare employees.

444 incidents of verbal, physical, racial and sexual abuse have been reported so far this year – more than one a day.

Behind every uniform is a parent or loved one. Let’s protect those who care for us. Read ore about the campaign here https://bit.ly/3VJoK1D

Are you interested in what happens when we attend a major incident, or a public event?

Alongside our associated voluntary agencies, we’re inviting Islanders to an Open Day between 12pm and 4pm on Sunday 14 September at the Weighbridge.

We will be joined by St John Ambulance Jersey, Normandy Rescue, the Ambulance Support Unit, and the Community First Responders.

These partner agencies are invaluable to our emergency responses and provide first aid support to our community by attending events and assisting with the nighttime economy, at peak times.

We’ll be showcasing what each organisation does, how we work together and some of our lifesaving equipment.

You can also learn about volunteering opportunities and how you could use life-saving skills at public events and to support SoJAS in a major incident.

* Keep cool – stay in the shade or indoors during the hottest parts of the day (usually 11am–3pm)

* Wear loose, light clothing and apply sunscreen regularly

* Look out for those who may struggle to cope in the heat – such as the elderly, young children, and those with health conditions
