Lifesupport - in the community

As part of project AED and the Apache Pizza Community AED programme we host and run introduction to Lifesupport sessions with community groups


Today saw us work with 25 people from yet another local school (Donneycarney) to introduce lifesupport and community AED

The session was well attended and had double the expected attendees - not only that after finishing the one hour session we offered the attendees the chance to hang on after and do more hands on work - no one moved !!! The more of these sessions we run the better the response.

The awareness sessions (soon to be known as radar sessions) cover
- Presentation on Lifesupport & AED
- Basic lifesupport / AED demonstration
- Hands on practical
- Q&A session
We then can either facilitate attendees at lifesupport / AED certificate courses or arrange to host one at their venue

With the sheer volume of requests at the moment we will be looking to train a support team and new TA - this wil be open to both RLSS members and STHOEE members

we are also on the verge of making another massive announcement in this area ........ mums the word
