In the heart of beautiful Northamptonshire
I don’t know who installed this little objet d’art, but thank you! You’re making lots of people smile!
(I imagine there might be a little person somewhere who can’t sleep at nights because Kermit’s missing. So if he finds his way back home, thank you – whoever you are – for sharing him with us for a while.) :0)
TIME.
It takes just four minutes after a human heart has stopped before internal organs begin to stop working. A frightening prospect.
Most of us would be out of our depth. A mixture of panic and ‘little knowledge’ would prevail. Valuable time would be lost. And a well-meaning but untrained physical response might cause more harm than good.
Enter the St John Ambulance CPR and defibrillator team.
On Thursday 18 June, in the Village Hall, nine parishioners were educated and entertained by Chris and Cayti from Kettering St John Ambulance. They benefitted from 90 minutes of CPR demonstration and defibrillator use – with hands-on practice on the very compliant Annie (a plastic ‘body’).
While none of us would now claim to be expert, we have at least a foundation of knowledge that would, hopefully, enable a quick and appropriate response in an emergency.
A very worthwhile session and I urge you all to look out for the next training opportunity and come and join us! You can find out more about how to do CPR here.
The poster says it all! And if it’s half as much fun as it looks, it’ll be an afternoon to remember! (Don’t forget there’s a children’s fancy dress competition too – starting at 3.00pm. So don’t be late!)
