On Wednesday 19th March PCFR welcomed the Dalkeith and Penicuik members who joined forces and learnt some first aid from The Penicuik Community First Responders at the Penicuik rugby club.

Fiona, with help from our ex-First Responder Gilbert, had great delight delivering Emergency Basic Life Support training today to 17 (aged 11-14) Midlothian Swimming Club members.

Many thanks to Fiona Hall and Sandy Wann, from Penicuik Community First Responders.
