🎃🚑 Happy Halloween from the Valkyrie medical team! 👻
As you enjoy the spooky fun tonight, here are a few safety reminders from a pre-hospital point of view:
🕯️ Be Seen:
Dark costumes look great in the dark — but not to drivers! Add reflective tape or glow sticks so trick-or-treaters stay visible.
🍬 Check the Treats:
Avoid homemade or unsealed sweets — especially for little ones with allergies.
🔥 Costume Safety:
Check labels for “flame-resistant” materials and keep costumes away from candles or open flames.
🚗 Road Awareness:
Excited children can forget road safety — drivers, slow down in residential areas and expect the unexpected.
💉 If an Emergency Happens:
Call 999 immediately for any serious illness or injury — we’re here to help 24/7.
If it’s minor, local walk-in centres and NHS 111 can advise.
👩💼 And for those pub, bar and nightclub owners if you require assistance with medical cover tonight give us a shout. We have a couple of standby teams still available ready to roll just in case.
🧡 Stay safe, look out for each other, and have a frightfully fun evening!
