Here's the happy couple...

Our best wishes go to long term team member Steve and his fiancée Susan, both also paramedics, who get married today at Kinlochard.
And yes, it was Steve who wanted his picture taken with 'his other loves' - his kids and a team Hilux.

Thanks you Ellagh and Rose for these lovely cards. The happy smiling faces and attention to detail of our clothing are very good.
Recently, we visited Buchlyvie Primary School and delivered CPR training to the whole school. Clova, one of our trainee search dogs attended too and Rod gave a talk about how Clova finds people before she went off and demonstrated how good she is at searching.

From Jan-May 2019 we've delivered 41 Heartstart or CPR + AED classes, training 735 people emergency life support skills. All delivered by our amazing #volunteers.
We've had 8 uses of our public access defibs already this year and so we've now seen 18 people resuscitated by the public using these.
Already this year our members have spent over 1,000 hrs checking, cleaning and replenishing pads and batteries on these units - well worth the hard work, again all #volunteers
