Kildare Community First Responders seeking new members for 2018

By Kim O'Leary

As January gets well underway, Kildare Community First Responders is seeking new members to join them to help those in need of emergency assistance with an Information Night scheduled to take place next week.

The voluntary agency was set up to provide a vital service with relation to Heart Attack, Cardiac Arrest, and Breathing Difficulties. Kildare Community First Responders are also trained to provide emergency medical assistance to those types of incidents while awaiting the arrival of an Emergency Ambulance, providing reassurance and comfort to the patient and their family.

Members are given full training in CPR and AED use, and they are required to work a couple of hours a month with no joining fee.

On Monday 29 January Kildare Community First Responders will be holding an Information Night at Kildare Town Community School at 8pm, with all welcome to attend.
