The Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council hosted CFR le Chéile in Athlone on October 17th -18th 2008. The purpose of the conference was to officially launch the PHECC Suite of CFR training materials. The conference was open to members of the public and was particularly well represented by those involved in the Private, Voluntary, Auxiliary and Statutory pre-hospital services. Thanks to all those who contributed in making CFR le Chéile such a success.
