Early defibrillation and CPR can more than double a person’s chances of survival an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

It’s crucial that everyone who looks after a defibrillator registers with @NIAS999 on @BHFNI The Circuit to help save more lives.

I'm hoping that East Belfast can get behind this campaign. It is estimated that only 30% of public access defibrillators are registered with ambulance services. Is your community defibrillator registered with the Circuit? ⬇️

Labour and the Leavers have as much chance of renegotiating this deal as I do of going back to argue it out with Lloyd George again
