It was with great pleasure that we’ve been able to generously donate to our local parkrun life-saving equipment that can be deployed in case of an emergency incident. Our graphic designer, Wei on behalf of Aero Healthcare UK had the honour of presenting a purpose-built backpack containing a compact HeartSine\u00ae Samaritan\u00ae PAD 500P defibrillator and essential first aid kit to Murray, the run director for Horsham junior parkrun. <\/p>\n

The HeartSine\u00ae 500P is an innovative AED (Automated External Defibrillator) featuring the responsive CPR Advisor verbal prompts feature, along with essential first aid kit provision, will be available to members of Aero UK\u2019s local and well established parkrun group, regularly held in Horsham Park. It will play a vital role in safeguarding the safety and well-being of the many junior and adult runners in our local community.<\/p>\n

At parkrun, there\u2019s a requirement that every UK race event has quick access to an AED and, ideally, has one of its own available at the start\/finish area. In a recent policy change, every new parkrun will in future be provided with its own AED as part of its start-up equipment. Also, if a parkrun\u2019s AED is not available, the event has to be cancelled \u2013 it\u2019s that important these days.<\/p>\n

The importance of a defibrillator lies in its ability to assist in restarting the heart of someone experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest \u2013 provided it is used promptly. AEDs can be operated safely and effectively by individuals without specialised training, and untrained members of the public have successfully saved lives in this way. There have also been several notable, high-profile instances of AEDs being used successfully at sporting events.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n
