Maulden Walking Football Club are one of six lucky winners of a defibrillator in a competition run by the National Walking Football Alliance. The Club itself has also invested in an adult CPR/AED training manikin with CPR monitor.
The survival rate for out of hospital cardiac arrests in the UK is only about 8% but with widespread knowledge of CPR in the community and early access to defibrillators this survival rate can be much higher.
On Friday and with thanks to both Ceri Barnes ad Simon Barnes of www.cerisport.co.uk we ran a training session for some of our Club members. We will be covered what to do in a cardiac arrest situation and how to use our defibrillator. These skills will help to improve outcomes should the situation arise, both at our walking football sessions but in other contexts too. It is great to know that our members are willing to give up their valuable free time to potentially help others at their most critical time of need…
