Well I was already first aid trained, and today me and 10 other members off staff were trained on how to use a heart defibrillator, a very nice peace of kit, and pretty much idiot proof, hope I never need to use it for real, but we got told on the course that in the UK on average in primary school 3 kids per week die from a stroke  Bloody hell I would never have put the figure that hi, and if you don't have the defibrillator at your place of work, the odds of you surviving is only 6% so maybe all places of work should have them. |

We sadly lost a player during a game of football 10yrs ago!
Cardiac risk in the young (cry) kills 12 children a week just in the U.K.
The charity CRY offer for a fee of £35 a examination & heart screening to children aged 13-18yrs
It's good that finally positive action is being taken

yes I bet it would be very hard work if you had to keep going for 10 minutes, hope I never find out.

Congratulations, but why link a statistic on childhood strokes (CVA's) with a defib? Don't try defibrillating a patient presenting symptoms of a stroke - you'll kill them, and that won't look good on your cv  |

See a few in passing, rather than actually meeting them.
You meet more doing the Ron Haslem days at Donnington! |
