Do you know how to perform CPR, or where your nearest defibrillator is?
Every year in the UK, 40,000 people have an out of hospital cardiac arrest, with the chance of survival less than 10%.
While on a family holiday in the summer, our estimating director Scott’s father-in-law had a cardiac arrest. With immediate CPR by family, the use of a nearby defibrillator and the fast response from Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance, he defied the odds and is thankfully still here to tell the tale.
We’re sharing this because today is Restart a Heart Day, which raises awareness of cardiac arrest and the importance of learning CPR.
We’ve had a defibrillator fitted at Ameon HQ and are providing the necessary training to give our team the skills and confidence to use it in the event of a cardiac arrest.
It could save a life ❤️
