St. John Ambulance Cork were delighted at the extraordinary turnout for our introductory First Aid course, held in Glanmire Community School on Sunday on May 22nd last. Over 60 members of the public, of all ages and from all walks of life converged on the school to learn vital lifesaving skills. The techniques learned ranged from the controlling of severe bleeding, to the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) in conjunction with CPR to help save the life of a person in need of it most.

St. John Ambulance Cork was proud to have played a part in one of the most historic days in living memory. With the help of colleagues from our division in Limerick, our sister voluntary organisations, and the HSE Ambulance Service, St. John Ambulance Cork lined the streets of the inner city during the visit of Queen Elizabeth II.

In one of the largest security operations in the history of the State, St. John Ambulance Cork were delighted to be present in a medical capacity. With a lot of pre-planning and work taking place, it was clear that all hands were needed on deck We welcome Austin Florish and Philip Tuohy from Limerick Division, who kindly offered an ambulance and crew for the day.  Read More..

St. John Ambulance Cork, held an Open Day in Glanmire Community School, on Sunday May 15^th last. The purpose of this was to showcase the work that the Brigade does in Cork, and elsewhere. It was decided to be held, with a view to running a first aid course, and then recruiting members of the public to form a new unit of St. John Ambulance, in Glanmire, Co. Cork

The day was very successful, with just over three hundred people making the trip to Glanmire Community School, to learn more about the Brigade. There was massive interest from both young people and adults alike, in taking the first aid course, and hopefully joining up to the Brigade, and forming the new First Aid unit. Read More..
