HeartSAFE KI

Supporting community to deliver CPR and public access defibrillators on Kangaroo Island, SA

[Anthony Pryzibilla @anthonypryz]

Yesterday’s travels took me from Adelaide - Alice Springs - Tennant Creek - Ti Tree - Alice Springs. Witnessed high level clinical care delivered by @RoyalFlyingDoc and @RedOzRetrieval with the added bonus of an amazing sunset (photo does not do it justice)!

[The Press and Journal @pressjournal]

New figures show public access defibrillators have saved 20 lives in one year https://t.co/QmPOpMfN3o

[Scottish Fire and Rescue Service @fire_scot]

Firefighters in Falkirk have helped to make more than 2000 teenagers CPR aware.

Crews shared the potentially life-saving skills with pupils at Larbert High School during a week-long awareness drive 💓 💪

How cool is this? Australia’s first HeartSafe community - Kangaroo Island now has over 30 Public Access Defibrillators and >20% trained CPR responders https://t.co/yE0LlXa6NQ

[Tim Leeuwenburg @KangarooBeach]

Is this Australia’s most remote AED? Installed at Cape du Coudeic / Admiral’s Arch seal colony in Flinders Chase National Park, this AED is a welcome addition to the @HeartSafeKI @_KangarooIsland network of 24/7 AEDs. Logged with @GoodSamApp - next the @SA_Ambulance registry

[HeartSAFE KI @HeartSafeKI]

If you know of one we’ve missed, please let us know!!!

All logged with @GoodSamApp

[Tim Leeuwenburg @KangarooBeach]

So the @HeartSafeKI program is getting bigger and bigger - over 30 Public Access Defibs available across @_KangarooIsland, inc new ones at @NRKangarooIs #PenneshawHotel @MercureHotel KI Lodge #AmericanRiver - well done all & thanks @SjaCentral @AHASA5000

[HeartSAFE KI @HeartSafeKI]

Make it personal- a story helps. A demonstration of collapse. A ‘what if’ in their community. And demystify CPR and AEDs

[KitTags @kittags]

@MaselMatt @GoodSamApp @HeartSafeKI @KangarooBeach @Fly_texan @RuralDoctorsAus @ACRRM Have found the biggest community issue in this is apathy - if we can work out a way to get people over that it would be brilliant - any ideas welcomed - am thinking a variation of the recent @GoodSamApp posters

[Mike Ray @MikeRayVic]

After 4 years, 28 courses and over 7,700 hours training, it’s fantastic to see all @CFA_Updates integrated stations (& 3 volunteer stations!) turning out with @AmbulanceVic to improve cardiac arrest survival in their communities #BetterTogether #ItTakesASystemToSaveALife

[7NEWS Adelaide @7NewsAdelaide]

A coronial inquest has found multiple errors contributed to the overdose death of a patient at the Flinders Medical Centre. He was administered a lethal amount of strong painkillers and hospital staff are to blame. https://t.co/BgFxSomUMa @laurenrosevj #7News

[HeartSAFE KI @HeartSafeKI]

The team at @heartsafeki (Australias first #heartsafe community) will be running community-CPR and AED training on #kangarooisland to help bolster our already impressive network of PADs and CPR-trained rural folk https://t.co/nrpQ2N1H1h

[Restart A Heart @RestartHeartDay]

Time matters when someone suffers a sudden cardiac arrest. For every minute without CPR the chances of survival drop by up to 10%. Join us on Oct 16 for World Restart A Heart Day to learn #CPR to save a life. https://t.co/Bfcp7Ex1Rx https://t.co/EOiZJxhdPC

[Tim Leeuwenburg @KangarooBeach]

And yet another Public Access defibrillator added to the @HeartSafeKI network on #kangarooisland - these 24/7 AEDs are logged on global @GoodSamApp and State-based @SA_Ambulance registries to help tourists and locals alike #heartsafeconmunity https://t.co/uYNpFJrhHZ

[Mike Ray @MikeRayVic]

1 in 18 working Australians are health professionals. That’s 700,000 people that can sign up to @GoodSamApp and be part of the #lifesaving team helping improve cardiac arrest survival in their communities #BetterTogether #PAIC2018

[Tony Walker ASM @agwalker01]

Happy EMR Birthday to our wonderful @MFB_NEWS partners from all your colleagues at @AmbulanceVic. 20 years working together to save lives and still going strong 🎂 🚒 🚑 ❤ #BetterTogether #ItTakesASystemToSaveALife
