Congratulations to
@TheOKFoundation
on their tireless campaign to have defibs in all state schools.
This is fantastic news, we encourage all schools to make their new defib accessible to the community 24/7 💚
All state-funded schools in England now have a defibrillator. Our £19 million investment drastically increases the chance of students, teachers and visitors surviving a cardiac arrest.

If you're in Greater Manchester, book one of our free first aid courses and learn what to do if you see someone have a cardiac arrest. You could save their life.
In the North West of England in 2021, 11.8% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happened in a public place.
Knowing CPR and how to use a defibrillator can sometimes help double the chance of survival. Do you know these skills?

First Aid Tip of The Week☝️
When giving CPR, keep your arms as straight as possible. This is because arm muscles tire much quicker than body weight. Keeping the arms straight helps your body weight drive the compression down & maintain the correct depth BUT avoid bouncing ⛔️

Please encourage your local school to make their defibrilltor accessible to the community 24/7 💚
Today marks a milestone moment in our roll-out of life saving defibrillators.
As part of a £19 million plan, all eligible secondary schools now have a defibrillator and all state-funded schools requiring one, will receive one by the end of the academic year.
