Learning CPR and how to use a defibrillator could help save a life.

And you don't need to be a health professional to make a difference.

About 60 community members joined LRH staff to learn the essentials with CPR mannequins and automated external defibrillators (AEDs) for Day.

Even Leiha the therapy dog who is a well known LRH visitor got in on the session!

Our deterioration and resuscitation clinical nurse educator Jess Vila said the aim was to give people the confidence to act in an emergency.

“We want to encourage and empower the community to learn how to do effective, good CPR and also use the AEDs to give a shock to people who are experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrests,” she said.

🫀 Every second counts

About nine in 10 people who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest die. Early CPR and defibrillation can improve their chances of survival.

And cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, regardless of their fitness.

“The fittest people have them. We've seen soccer players have them. We've seen everybody who's marathoners have them. It doesn't really matter,” Jess said.

🚨 Know what to do if someone collapses:
➡️ Check if they're responsive and breathing normally.
➡️ Call Triple Zero (000) and follow the operator's instructions.
➡️ Start CPR if they're unresponsive and not breathing normally.
➡️ Use an AED as soon as one is available, following its voice prompts.

If someone is with you, ask them to call for help or find an AED while you start CPR.

“If you know somebody that you love and they would fall in front of you and they would die, you want to be able to at least give them the best chance of living," Jess said.

Spotlight on Sue Currie, one of our wonderful Community Champions at LRH who dedicates her time as a volunteer in our Special Care Nursery cuddling and even reading to premature and vulnerable babies.

Now she's taking her commitment to premmies a step further by entering the Premmie Marathon Challenge, which encourages participants to walk or run 71 kilometres in recognition of the 71 babies born prematurely every day.

But Sue isn't stopping there. She's aiming to walk an incredible 147 kilometres, more than double the challenge distance, by completing up to 5 kilometres a day throughout November.

For Sue, the motivation is simple:
"I really value being part of the team at the Special Care Nursery and looking after these tiny people. They feed my soul. I get so much more out of it than I give."

Go Sue! 🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏼‍♀️🙌
