Every Second Counts And You Could Make All The Difference
Wednesday, 11th March 2026, 6.30 pm - 8.30 pm, Dailly Community Hall
The Reality Check
- Cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time at the village shop, during the school run, or at a community event.
- Every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces survival chances considerably.
- Response times in rural Scotland can vary significantly based on the nearest available ambulance, often exceeding at least 20-30 minutes for rural, non-central locations but brain damage can begin after just 4 minutes.
Why This Training Matters to Our Village
- You could save your neighbour's life or they could save yours.
- Many cardiac arrests happen at home meaning the life you save is likely to be someone you love.
- Using a defibrillator within 3-5 minutes can increase survival rates dramatically.
- No medical background is needed. Modern defibrillators talk you through every step.
What You'll Learn
- How to recognise cardiac arrest.
- The confidence to act quickly and effectively.
- Where to find defibrillators in our community.
The Bottom Line
In our close-knit village, we look after each other. Learning to use a defibrillator isn't just about being prepared. It's about being the person who steps up when seconds count. You don't need to be a hero; you just need to know what to do.
The training takes just 2 hours, but the skills last a lifetime.
