23.01.2022 When to call 000 for an ambulance? Did you know that patients have called Triple Zero (000) for conditions such as sore throats, boils, sunburn and even a bro...ken nail? Many people believe they will be seen sooner if they are taken to hospital by ambulance. This is a common misconception. All patients are treated according to their medical needs, whether they arrive by ambulance or not. It is important to recognise that ambulances are available for medical emergencies. Calling an ambulance for non-urgent conditions could cost someone their life. According to healthdirect.gov.au. You should call triple zero (000) and request an ambulance in the following situations. Note: If you are unsure about whether a person requires an ambulance, it is better to call Triple Zero (000). chest pain or chest tightness sudden onset of weakness, numbness or paralysis of the face, arm or leg breathing difficulties unconsciousness uncontrollable bleeding a sudden collapse or unexplained fall unexplained fitting in adults injury from a major car accident a fall from a great height serious assault, including stabbing or shooting severe burns, particularly in young children infants who are fitting or have an ongoing fever. In a medical emergency, it is important that you do not drive yourself or another person to hospital as you may endanger your life, the patient's life or members of the public. Not only are you unable to concentrate on driving but moving some patients can make the situation worse. In a medical emergency, control centre officers can provide medical advice and paramedics can commence essential life-saving treatment at the scene, as well as en route to hospital, rather than beginning treatment at the hospital. The Australian health system has many different types of services available to help you. Read more here www.healthdirect.gov.au/what-care-do-i-need

18.01.2022 One in four of us will have a stroke in our lifetime (yes you read that right). That means it's even more important for us to be able to recognise the signs of ...a stroke, as it could help save a life. Just remember to check for these four signs and always call Triple 000 in the event of an emergency: Face: is the patient's face drooping? Arms: can the patient lift both arms? Speech: is the patient's speech slurred or comprehensible? Can they understand you? Time: every second counts, call Triple 000 immediately if you suspect a patient is suffering from a stroke.

13.01.2022 Does someone you know suffer Anaphylaxis? Do you know how to use an EpiPen? Do you have the SJA First Responder App? Can you save a life?

10.01.2022 If someone you know has asthma, you may want to read this. It's really important that you use a spacer with a puffer if someone is suffering from an asthma atta...ck. Using a spacer means the patient receives a more effective dose of Ventolin. It could really make a difference if they're having a severe attack. If a spacer is not available to the patient, you can improvise by using a plastic bottle. All you need to do is cut a hole at the bottom and poke the puffer through the space. Always call Triple Zero (000) in an emergency situation, especially if the patient is not breathing normally.

04.01.2022 After completing first aid training, most individuals feel confident in being able to perform CPR, if required in a medical emergency. What we have identified, ...is that not many know how to recognise the signs of a sudden cardiac arrest and when to start pushing on a patient's chest. Resuscitation Improvement Coordinator, Dan Rose has offered his expertise and shown us how we can recognise the signs of sudden cardiac arrest, more efficiently.

03.01.2022 A great way to help out the local community and visiting tourists.
