Celbridge Cardiac First Responder Programme

wheresthebeef

Hi guys and girls,
I am looking to see if anyone here is from the Celbridge (Co. Kildare) area and would be interested in getting on board with our Cardiac First Responder Programme which is in the initial stages of formation. We are currently planning to launch the programme with the help of Celbridge Community Council.
The role of a Cardiac Community First Responder Programme is to reduce the number of preventable Cardiac deaths in an area by providing timely CPR and Defibrillation before advanced medical help can arrive (i.e an Ambulance with Paramedics). The idea of the scheme would be that a team of trained responders would be on call at any one time and would receive calls to attend medical cardiac events to initiate life saving care before the ambulance arrives. The scheme is voluntary and full training will be given to volunteers as per the PHECC (Pre Hospital Emergency Care Council) CFR Course Guidelines. Members will also be fully insured and ongoing training and debriefing would be a key component.

If anyone here is interested, you can email me at david@celbridgefirstresponder.net or send me a PM

Thanks,

David Wallace

Fantastic idea. So many deaths are preventable with the timely use of a defib.

I work in Celbridge. I'd love to hear of something similar in Leixlip.
