Some time ago, one of the guys from the team talked to us about the Welsh Ambulance Service Community First Responder schemes. More recently, reading a post from Tom, I was reminded of the scheme and thought about joining. With the medical training the Mountain Rescue gave me, I have a reasonable knowledge of the […]
Wow, well, what a fun-packed weekend that was. I’m going to have to provide a summary version of recent events because my ‘net connection is currently not working. BT are, apparently, dealing. Joy.
