❤️⚡ Check Your Defib Week ⚡❤️

As part of Check Your Defib Week, volunteers from St John Ambulance Foyle have been out and about across the city checking the locations of publicly accessible defibrillators and helping to raise awareness of their importance.

In a cardiac arrest, every second counts. Knowing where your nearest defibrillator is, and how to access it, could help save a life.

Many defibrillators are located in public places and are designed to be used by anyone, regardless of medical training. The device provides clear instructions and will guide you through the process if it is ever needed.

Take a few moments this week to find out where your nearest defibrillator is—you never know when that knowledge could make all the difference.
