Only 1 in 10 Australians that suffer from cardiac arrest survive the initial attack. @1stAidAustralia created the month-long Shocktober campaign to combat this statistic by educating the community on #SuddenCardiacArrest. Learn more: loom.ly/PT-96sQ

What is Shocktober?

Shocktober is an annual campaign aimed at increasing survival rates among out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victims. As such, it promotes the importance of knowing how to perform CPR and defibrillation.

Thank you @abcnews for increasing awareness of PAD in women - a silent killer @Drsarahaitken @gemtreee @BridgetJuneJudd @HRIAust abc.net.au/news/health/2023-…

Danielle was given a choice — her leg or her life. She wants others to recognise the signs of this...

Peripheral artery disease is described as a "silent killer", but women don't always show traditional symptoms, which is leading to underdiagnosis.
