Tenby summer service by Red Cross set to return
Tenby’s British Red Cross summer service is set to return. The service was successfully piloted over weekends and bank holidays last summer and will this year also operate during the week. It will be based at Tenby Hospital and be run by a group of skilled individuals who will use their experience of providing first aid at public events to give top quality care to people visiting the hospital. County director and commissioner for Pembrokeshire, Sue Lewis, said: “The pilot service last year proved very successful and we are delighted to commission this service again for this year but with increased hours.” Nigel Davies, senior services manager for the Red Cross, said: “Red Cross volunteers attend events ranging from sporting fixtures to stadium-sized rock concerts. When accidents happen or illnesses take hold, their knowledge can be vital in giving the appropriate treatment and preventing further injury.” The service will run from July 19 – September 7 and be open 10am-7pm on Saturdays,...
