🚨Community Volunteers Needed🚨for an exciting new @FPSParamedics program called Neighbours saving Neighbours. Want to respond alongside paramedics to cardiac arrest emergencies in your neighbourhood and potentially save a life? engagefrontenac.ca/neighbour…
"Volunteer responders can make the difference between life and death for friends, family, and neighbours who experience cardiac arrest. I hope you’ll volunteer to help," said Jason Kervin, Advanced Care Paramedic with Frontenac Paramedics. kingstonist.com/news/volunte…
Life saved with an innovative approach to sudden cardiac arrest combining several revolutionary strategies and techniques- community volunteer responders, crowdsourcing apps like GoodSAM and PulsePoint, and an ultraportable AED - CellAED. Let’s implement in more places and study
Humbled to share an incredible story of a young mother whose life was saved thanks to the quick actions of responders and early access to defibrillation with #CellAED. To all the responders who acted quickly—thank you for being the true heroes of this story ❤️
The UK all-party parliamentary group on defibrillators recommends AEDs in every public building, for all new homes, and in police and fire vehicles. defibrillatorappg.wordpress.… CellAED, available in the UK, will support implementation of these recommendations. cellaed.io/row

I have posted this before but ..
26 years ago, a gunman entered
Dunblane Primary School in Scotland,
killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK
govt responded by enacting tight gun
