Do you love to spend time around water? Stay safe - 40% of people who accidentally drowned in 2022 had no intention of entering the water.

Would you know what to do if you or a loved one fell in?

#BeWaterAware #FloatToLive 👉 orlo.uk/viE85

If you see someone in trouble in the water, remember this lifesaving advice:
📞 Call 999 and ask for fire if inland or the coastguard if by the sea
🗣️ Tell them to float on their back
✅ Throw something to help them float

When using our patient transport service, wait times to travel home may vary. After an appointment, our patients could wait up to 90 minutes to be collected. It isn’t our intention to leave you waiting, we pick up all our patients as quickly as we can.

A huge thank you to the staff at McMenon Engineering in Cumbria for raising £1,200 for our North West Ambulance Charity. This came after our call handlers and crews saved the life of Peter Gresty who works at the firm and had a cardiac arrest at work. issuu.com/nw_amb/docs/yo…
