?? Making Memories and Building Bonds at Martek Lifecare????
In July, we went on an incredible away day to Wildpark and Mount Cook Adventure Centre in Derbyshire! It was a day filled with fun, laughter, and team-building activities, from mastering the art of archery tag to conquering the quad bike trails to hitting the bullseye with laser clay pigeon shooting. Just because we supply and campaign for defibrillators all over the UK doesn't mean we don't like to get our hearts racing!??
It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with colleagues outside the office, and we felt more energised and united than ever! Thanks to Wild Park Derbyshire and Mount Cook Adventure Centre for making it a memorable experience!??
Check out the video to see some highlights from the day!
?? Back to school: The importance of defibrillators in school community
Our range of?Lifeline Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in UK schools is a safety measure and a necessity. Knowing where to store defibrillators at school ensures that students and staff have the best possible chance of surviving SCA. Given that sudden cardiac arrest can occur unexpectedly and affect all age groups, having?AEDs readily available on school premises increases the chances of survival in such critical situations.??
As with any environment, schools are places where prompt response to a cardiac emergency can mean the difference between life and death.??
Integrating AEDs in UK schools aligns with national health and safety standards. In the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981, schools are legally required to provide adequate first aid equipment and trained personnel. While AEDs are not explicitly mandated, they can significantly improve response capabilities in a cardiac emergency.??
In this article, we discussed optimal storage locations for your defibrillators so you can enhance the overall safety and well-being of the school community.??
