Tonyrefail&GilfachDefibs

We are a small community group raising funds to place Public Accessible Defibrillators in our community

[Hands Only CPR @Hands_Only_CPR]

This Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month, we encourage you and everyone you know to learn how to save lives:
Recognize sudden cardiac arrest. If a person is unresponsive and not breathing normally, assume it is SCA.
Call 911 and follow dispatcher instructions.
Start #CPR.
👏❤️

A brand new #ZollAED has now been installed in place of the old Defibrillator at the Mouchak #Tonyrefail
Sadly, the Defib at the Mouchak has been accessed on 3 occasions in a matter of weeks.

[Tonyrefail&GilfachDefibs @TGGDefib]

The cabinet at Gilfach Goch Legion has been replaced with a new one, the Defib is back, rescue ready on the circuit.
Our thoughts are with the family who had to use the Defib last week

❌ MYTH: "I have to be medically trained to use a defibrillator."

✔️REALITY: Defibrillators are designed to be used by anyone and are available for use by the public. It does not require training, but could make the difference between life and death. https://t.co/1cs5WMvzjz

Here’s Gwyn👋

He suffered a cardiac arrest in his hometown. A group of strangers acted quickly and performed CPR and defibrillation - saving his life 💙

Learn or refresh your CPR and defib skills. One day, you might be that stranger saving a life. https://t.co/1cs5WMvzjz

@savealifecymru We have free CPR / Defibrillator training @TonyrefailRFC clubhouse on Thursday 26th May - 7pm
Anyone living local would be more than welcome to attend

[Tonyrefail&GilfachDefibs @TGGDefib]

Another notice to say the pads had expired...this time at Coedely Club.

Maintaining these life saving machines is equally as important as fundraising and purchasing them.

The Circuit has also been updated to show the expiry date on the new set of pads.
