AEDs can't get too cold; the battery can drain and the gel in the defib pads can freeze, making the pads useless in an emergency ☹️

Calling 999 doesn’t guarantee you’ll receive an ambulance. We prioritise life-threatening emergencies; if your condition isn’t critical, you may wait or get phone advice. If you’re unsure, use NHS 111 online or call 111 for children under five.

Following the installation of the new CPAD at Kirkandrews Moat Village hall - there is a Free CPR awareness session next Friday @ 7pm - Everyone welcome

So last night some of Cumbria’s CFRs had the pleasure of visiting GNAAS at their Langwathby base. We got inside look on how the charity operates and the critical care they provide across the north west. Thank you for a great experience. 🚁

We're calling on all public access defib owners and guardians to ensure their devices are registered on The Circuit. By registering your defib, you're helping improve access to them during an emergency, giving someone their best chances of survival: thecircuit.uk

The #ChainofSurvival in action! 1 - immediate recognition of cardiac arrest + calling for help 2 - prompt initiation of CPR 3 - defibrillation with an #AED ASAP 4 - optimal post-resuscitation care 👀📞 🚨 🚑
