TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO REGISTER FOR THE LOCAL DEFIBRILLATOR TRAINING COURSE. WE NEED TO HAVE MORE LOCAL PEOPLE TRAINED UP TO USE THIS VITAL PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. JUST AN EVENING IS ALL THAT IT TAKES TO BE READY TO SAVE LIFE – AND IT MIGHT BE A LOCAL YOUNGSTER THAT NEEDS THEIR LIFE SAVED. CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE UP JUST ONE EVENING FOR THIS?
Free Training Course
Who: Adults living in Ruyton X I Towns close to the village centre
When: Tues 22nd September 2015 at 6pm to 9pm
Where: St John the Baptist CE Primary School
What: Defibrillator Training Course
Why: It is estimated that there are up to 175,000 heart attacks in
the UK each year, that's one every three minutes. Eleven children a week have a heart attack. The Baschurch defibrillators have already been used several times and have saved lives. Now Ruyton XI Towns can do the same!
Avril Sanders Royle, local chiropractor, is working with the school to organise training for local people. She says, "We need to have a list of people who are available at set times - maybe as little as just one half day or an evening a week when they can be called in the event of a cardiac arrest. With the technology available a call will automatically go to the people on duty so that one of them to get to school and take the defibrillator to the casualty. The equipment is really easy to use and requires the volunteers to attend a short course to learn how to use it. We need ALL the people who are close by to learn how to use the defib and help reduce the country's leading cause of death. The Parish Council will pay for local residents to attend the course"
