🦸🏽Be A Hero! Bystander CPR Saves Lives! 🚨Did you know? Approximately 1,000 out-of-hospital-cardiac arrests OHCAs are assessed by emergency medical services in the U.S. every day, but only about 40% of these patients receive bystander CPR before EMS arrives. 🏈Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is the leading cause of death in young athletes. 🚑 As an EMT-B, I can confirm the importance of bystander CPR before first responders arrive. Starting CPR within the first 10 minutes of someone having a cardiac arrest at home or in public can double or triple survival chances and protect brain function. 🙌🏽 Let’s make a difference. Learn CPR, teach CPR, and encourage your community to do the same. Remember, your hands can be a lifeline. #cpr #firstresponders #ems #emt #CardiacArrest #PublicHealth #CommunitySupport #equity #healthcare #heroes #education #sports #fitness #SaveLives #health #latinos #africanamericans #businessowners #nonprofits #leadership #coach

That’s why NSW Ambulance has partnered with GoodSAM, a program that helps save lives by empowering members of the community to respond quickly when someone nearby goes into cardiac arrest. https://lnkd.in/g7TTYPfX

I'm paraphrasing Toby Porter speaking to the health and social care committee last week however, the clip below shares the Hospice UK chiefs acknowledgement of the views shared in parliament the day before. ICB's have a very difficult job and there is no god given right to funding for Hospices but strategic planning and financing is required and we see no evidence of strategic planning or funding taking place. Statutory guidance indicates that ICB's should specify clearly what needs to be in place to deliver high quality end of life care for their populations (NHSE, 2022). However, a very quick review of the web for #PEOLC strategies reinforces Toby's view as nearly 65% of ICS's do not appear to have an easily available or accessible palliative or end of life care strategy for their region. https://lnkd.in/e-VP2fSv
