Let's make sure no one is left behind. More defibrillators, more training, and more awareness can help increase survival rates for everyone—regardless of their location🏥

Did you know that you DON'T need any training to use a public access defibrillator? 🙌🏼

Public access defibrillators are designed to be used by ANYONE ❗ When switched on, it will provide clear verbal prompts and talk you through what you need to do.

We believe it's all about confidence when it comes to CPR and using a defibrillator. That's why we supply a FREE defibrillator awareness session with every defib that we supply, so you're confident to step in & save a life ❤️

❄️ As winter approaches and the temperature drops, it’s essential to ensure your defibrillator is prepared for the colder weather❄️

Cold temperatures can affect the performance of your defibrillator, and you want to make sure it’s always ready to save a life when you need it most.

Here's how you can keep your defib rescue-ready during the winter months:

1️⃣ Store it in a sheltered location – Avoid storing your defibrillator in direct exposure to the elements like snow, rain, or extreme temperatures. Consider using an outdoor cabinet that provides temperature control and protection.

2️⃣ Regularly check the temperature – Defibrillators should be stored between 0°C and 25°C (32°F to 77°F) for optimal performance. If your device is in a cold or outdoor space, consider using a heated enclosure.

3️⃣ Inspect the battery and pads – Cold weather can impact the lifespan of your defibrillator’s battery. Be sure to check the battery level and replace it if necessary, and ensure the pads aren’t damaged by the cold.

4️⃣ Test your device regularly – Even in winter, don’t skip your routine defibrillator checks! Make sure everything is working as it should.

When seconds count, your defibrillator needs to be ready to respond. Let’s ensure that our communities stay safe, no matter the weather! 🌨️❤️

Delays continue on the HeartSine Defibrillator on the adult & child pad paks.

Please check if your Heartsine device is effected by the recall notice or ensure your backorder of replacement pads is placed - https://defibworld.org/pads-and-batteries/?swoof=1&manufacturer=heartsine&really_curr_tax=181-product_cat

🚨 Important HeartSine Defibrillator Recall Notice 🚨

As a charity, we proudly act as Guardians for 27 community defibrillators and have been involved in almost 50 installations across our area. Part of our responsibility is keeping you informed about any safety updates.

We have been made aware of a product recall affecting certain HeartSine defibrillators. This is not every single unit, but Stryker (the manufacturer) is asking all owners to check their serial numbers online to see if their device is affected.

🔍 Check here: https://www.stryker.com/us/en/emergency-care/product-notices/heartsine/fa318-t3/ee.html?mc_cid=e663cff104&mc_eid=94923ea557

✅ We’ve completed our checks as Guardians and can confirm that the HeartSine defibrillator in Shaw is NOT affected by this recall, so no action is required for that unit.

📢 Please help us spread the word – if you know a club, group, business, or individual that owns a HeartSine defibrillator, share this post with them.

Every second counts in an emergency, and keeping equipment rescue-ready is a vital part of saving lives

❤️ Another big step forward for community safety ❤️

Today, Ben went all the way to Stockport to complete the wiring and electrical supply for another defibrillator.

✅️ No fuss,
✅️ no fanfare,
✅️ just getting it done properly so lifesaving equipment can be available 24/7 when it’s needed most.

👏 Well done to Stockport School for stepping up and doing something genuinely impactful for your local community. This is exactly how change happens, people seeing a need and acting on it.

And a massive thank you to Ben. Our electricians are absolute gold dust. Without them, defibrillators stay in boxes and cabinets stay dark. Quite simply, we couldn’t do what we do without them.

❤️ Team effort. Real impact. Lives protected. 💚
