Did you know that there are around 60,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in the UK every year.
Acting quickly when someone is in cardiac arrest and fighting for their life is crucially important.
At our our recent 20th Anniversary Party we announced that we have invested in a Life Saving Defibrillator.Here are Arif, Melanie and Paz sharing the good news with Sir Teddy Taylor and His Worshipful the Mayor Chris Walker while they open our new defibrillator, also known as an AED (Automated External Defibrillator).
When someone goes into cardiac arrest, every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces their chances of survival by 10%.
A defibrillator is a machine that delivers an electric shock to the heart when someone is having a cardiac arrest.
At Cliff Chiropractor Southend we take the health of our patients and the local community very seriously and we are proud to be able to have the Defibrillator at the Clinic should it be needed by a patient. The Defibrillator is also availabel for any member of the local community.
