It's a gorgeous day, so make sure you're wearing suncream! ☀️

UV rays are strongest in Ireland from 11am to 3pm so it's important to protect yourself and keep very small children out of the sun during that period.

More people die of sepsis in Ireland than heart attacks and stroke.

Sepsis can hide behind any infection. It is treated most effectively if recognised early, so it's important to know the symptoms so that you don't miss the signs.

Providing our Emergency Medical Controllers with your exact location when calling 999 can make it much easier for our team to get to you in an emergency.

Does this sound like a job you'd be interested in? We're recruiting! Go to: bit.ly/3WdhFbf

The word FAST will help you recognise when a stroke is happening and what you need to do.

Call 112 or 999 immediately. The sooner a person gets treatment for a stroke, the less damage is likely to happen.
