BETTY’S BAY EMERGENCY SUPPORT TEAM (BEST)
BEST attended to five call-outs this month, which included a successful cardiac arrest resuscitation and, thankfully, not any motor vehicle accidents. Twenty eight call-outs have been made so far this year.
The two new members who needed to rewrite the theory examination have done so and will continue to be paired with a certified member in the interim.
No response was received for additional volunteers to undergo training. Interested people can please contact me on WhatsApp 082 5678 858 for further information.
A reminder to all: please have your medical aid information, a list of your current medication and medical history at hand as this will greatly assist with patient handover to the ambulance services, should you be in need of our service.
Any donations to BEST will be most welcome – ABSA, Betty’s Bay Ratepayers account 4066616439, Branch 632005, with BEST as the reference to ensure that your donation is used solely for this purpose. Many thanks to all those who have contributed. Without your support we would not be able to provide this service.
The Emergency Number for BEST is 066 165 6061.
