If you are the guardian of a defibrillator in your community, Community Resuscitation Engagement Officer Megan has some top tips for keeping it rescue-ready. Early use of a defibrillator with CPR can more than double a person’s chance of survival.
Very proud to have been given this award, highlights the work of @NWambArmedForce
