Defib pad placement is important. Positioning the pads correctly can double someone’s chance of survival.

While these two examples appear similar, side A is the correct way to place the pads. The key difference is that the pad on the left hand side of the chest has been placed on the side of the rib cage, closer to the armpit.

A new study has revealed that ticks carrying tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus are now established in parts of the UK. This comes as cases of TBE—a serious virus that can cause brain inflammation—have been detected in people with no recent travel history.

Ticks in the UK are already known to spread Lyme disease. Now, with TBE added to the list of risks, awareness and prevention are more important than ever.

✔️ Protect yourself: Wear long sleeves, use insect repellent, and check for ticks after time outdoors.
✔️ Stay informed: Know the symptoms of Lyme disease and TBE—early detection is key.
