Making schools 'Heartsafe' by having a defibrillator on school premises to restart the heart if a pupil or teacher suffers a cardiac arrest. The quicker a therapeutic shock is delivered the better chance there is of survival for students and others who experience cardiac arrest.

Situation
Sometimes the first sign of a cardiac abnormality is when a person suffers cardiac arrest. Sadly cardiac arrest affects children and young people as well as the older population. Without prompt treatment they could die.
Solution
Having a defibrillator, which is lifesaving medical equipment, on the premises will assist in restarting the heart if this emergency occurs and has the potential to save lives.
