‘…Women are mis-diagnosed all the time for heart attacks…’ This scene from the Pitt is so powerful we had to share.

It is so important to learn how to save a life including CPR and, whether a woman or a man, acting quickly and doing what needs to be done is what counts.

Learn how to save a life – all lives!

I know we go on a lot about Defibrillators, but it is so important to stress how these little machines are true life savers. The more we have, the more lives will be saved.

Do you know where your closest defibrillator is near you? There are a few around here in especially down the High Road or near the River but if you went further afield or travelled out of the country, how would you know where to find them?

We think a single European database is a great idea. Have a watch of this short video to be convinced. The more defibrillators we have and can easily be found, the better for all.

Repost I have called on the European Commission to develop an EU-wide approach to cataloguing defibrillators. Too many defibrillators are effectively hidden in plain sight, with more than 9,000 devices across Ireland, and nearly half are not registered. We already have EU legislation to enable health data-sharing across borders. We should show the same ambition when it comes to defibrillators.

New figures show women are less likely than men to receive bystander CPR as many "feel unsure about touching a woman's chest", an ambulance service has revealed.

In the data released ahead of International Women's Day on 8 March, Thames Valley Air Ambulance revealed one in three women who suffer a cardiac arrest receive no CPR before emergency crews arrive.

The charity says that is not because "bystanders don't care, but because they hesitate" and it urges more people to step forward if they witness a woman in cardiac arrest.

Ahead of International Women's Day, The Duchess of Edinburgh, who is the Royal Patron of the charity visited to learn CPR, practicing on a female manikin.

We feel strongly about this and encourage the push to get women the CPR help they need and require.

Repost One in three women who suffer a cardiac arrest receive no CPR before emergency crews arrive. ♀️💓

It’s not because bystanders don’t care, but because they hesitate.

Many people feel unsure about touching a woman’s chest, removing clothing or cutting through a bra to apply defibrillator pads. But notions of modesty should never get in the way of saving a life.

Ahead of , our Royal Patron The Duchess of Edinburgh joined us at our Stokenchurch HQ to learn CPR - practicing on a female manikin and supporting our call for more people to step forward with confidence if a woman suffers a cardiac arrest.

If you do one thing this take two minutes to watch our CPR video and be prepared to step in should the worst happen.

Such an important message! You don’t want to be standing by and watch someone in trouble – learn CPR and help after calling emergency services. It’s not hard but so worthwhile.

If you want to know about our Life Saving Courses which include CPR training get in touch. We can also come to your premises and do a training there.

REPOST

Learning CPR matters.

The few who survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest are often still here because a bystander or loved one performed CPR until emergency services arrived.

Don’t wait. Learn CPR today.

Thought we would share this - sad fact to read. That must change. You can start by learning You never know when you might need to use it - whonever it is that needs the help! Always call 999 first.

We're here to help if you want to learn how to save a life.

Repost Women are less likely to receive bystander CPR due to fear, myths and misconceptions. We must do more to save women's lives.

Be ready to perform Hands-Only CPR whenever you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse, even if they are a woman. There are just two steps:

1. Call 911.
2. Push hard and fast on the center of the chest at a rate of 100-120 compressions per-minute until help arrives.

We love this story. A dog owner, David Howarth, was saved by his loyal Labrador Beau after he collapsed on a beach in Dorset. The dog began bouncing up and down on Mr Howarth, running around on the sand and barking to draw attention. A passerby noticed the dog's behaviour and stopped to help, saving the 71–year–old's life.

Claire Dashwood was walking with her partner when she spotted the dog and the pensioner and began CPR while being guided by a paramedic over the phone. Then 2 off-duty doctors who were walking on the prom, came to help to carry out compressions.

When paramedics arrived, Mr Howarth was shocked with a defibrillator three times before he began to show signs of life. He was taken to a nearby hospital where doctors implanted a defibrillator near his heart. He was discharged 1 week later and has made a full recovery.

While we are sure you will say that luck was on Mr Howarth’s side but we say quick thinking and fast action saved his life. We can’t think of a better story to demonstrate how important it is to learn these skills in case of an emergency. It can happen anywhere to anyone. Learn how to save a life!
