🎯 TARGET TUESDAY!

This week’s target is a simple one that could make a life-saving difference:

❤️⚡Know where your nearest AED is.

If someone collapsed at work, at home or while you were out in your local community today… would you know where your nearest defibrillator is?

Take a couple of minutes today to:

📍 Find out where your nearest AED is
👀 Look out for AED/defibrillator signage
👥 Make sure your colleagues, friends or family know too
⚡ Familiarise yourself with how to access it

In an emergency, every second counts. Knowing where an AED is before you need one could save valuable time when it matters most.

🎯 Your Target Tuesday challenge: Find your nearest AED today and tell someone else where it is too.

Factual Friday -

There has been a lot of social media information regarding choking the last couple of days, off the back of a young girl saving a friend who was choking, by administering lifesaving first aid. And you have to appreciate the importance of what they did and a life saved, it could have turned out so different, without such quick action.

However, what do you do if you are on your own and choking?
You may not have much time!
If it is a severe blockage and you cannot talk and unable to cough effectively, you can become unconscious quickly.

Banging yourself on the back
Launching yourself at a corner of a chair
Belly flopping onto the floor
I even came across a trainer in the past, advising people to run into a wall, chest first !!!

None of which are advisable - But try this -

1) Call 999 and leave the call open, press any buttons you are requested to do so by the ambulance service but don't stand there trying to communicate with the Control Centre, you may be running out of time.

2) Open your front door.

3) Try to attract the attention of a passer by, neighbour, someone from the adjoining office, etc., but do not go to far from your front door, unless you are sure you are going to find someone quickly. Ambulance control will start trying to track your call, if you are not communicating with them and especially if they can hear you struggling in the back ground. If you wander to far they will struggle to find you.

4) Then if you are still completely on your own, you can try the options above. At least if you do knock yourself out help is on the way. ... See MoreSee Less
