Suffolk Accident Rescue Service – 17 August 2023
In August we welcomed Suffolk Accident Rescue Service (SARS) to our meeting. Despite the seriousness of the subject we had fun in learning all of the interesting information. They took us through life saving skills in recognising and acting when someone goes into cardiac arrest, learning signs which wouldn’t necessarily be expected.
Our members undertook CPR training using manikins and training defibrillators, to know what to expect should we ever need to use them. All attendees were presented with a certificate at the end of the evening. A cheque for £160 was presented to SARS following fundraising which took place earlier in the year and during the evening’s raffle.
