    A woman thought her husband was snoring – but he was having a cardiac arrest in his sleep. As their toddler slept next door, Jennifer Dunne gave CPR to 39-year-old Geraint which saved his life. Now they're urging everyone to learn the skill. Full story 👉 bit.ly/3ioNpFI

    We’re delighted to have introduced Penthrox into our suite of pain-relieving drugs. In a UK ambulance service first, our volunteers are also being trained to administer the drug, which is used to help patients with a traumatic injury, like a fracture 👉 bit.ly/3nOUgy1

    Our staff are currently working incredibly hard to answer your #COVID19 calls under very difficult circumstances. We appreciate that your call may be taking longer to answer than you'd like but we will not tolerate any form of abusive behaviour. This is totally unacceptable.

    Following the UK entering the delay phase of #Covid19 and the @CMOWales advice, please don't ring 111 if you have a new cough or temperature. Stay home. ONLY call 111 if your symptoms worsen considerably. We need to keep lines free for the most poorly. Thanks for your support.
