Are you the guardian of a community defibrillator? This week marks @ResusCouncilUK#CheckYourDefib ⚡️Here’s my quick guide to the essential checks that help keep your defibrillator emergency ready for your community.
Now installed and rescue ready for the Ulverston community. Huge thanks to the Ulverston Parish team for supporting this new community defibrillator.
A CPR awareness session will also be held soon to help empower the community to act in a cardiac emergency. @Kerrysr1
Today was the launch of the ‘Cars for Colleges’ scheme at @lakescollege 🚗
Great to work alongside @Cumbriapolice & @CumbriaFire, sharing vital first aid skills, including recognising cardiac arrest.
Supporting students in higher-risk industries to build confidence in emergencies helps create safer learning environments across Cumbria.
Great to chat to PFCC David Allen too
