First Aid Plus Gives Away 1 FREE Defibrillator to Mark Irish Heart Month











First Aid Plus will give an organisation in Co. Donegal a FREE defibrillator along with training for up to 10 people to mark Irish Heart Month which takes place during September.

The campaign organised by the Irish Heart Foundation aims to raise awareness of, and increased interest in, heart disease and associated conditions. Local paramedic with the Coastguard Search & Rescue Helicopter and First Aid trainer Aiden Thompson from Stranorlar feels so strongly about this issue that he has decided to offer one free defibrillator to schools, businesses, organisations or sports clubs who demonstrate a strong need for one.

To be in with a chance to win, email aiden@firstaidplus.ie and outline your reasons why you should receive this invaluable piece of medical equipment along with free training. More information is available on www.firstaidplus.ie and the First Aid Plus Facebook page.

  1. I appreciate First Aid Plus sharing this encouraging project. During Irish Heart Month, providing a free defibrillator and training will help to increase awareness of heart disease and its prevention. Particularly in schools, sports teams, and companies where quick access to life-saving equipment is vital, such preemptive actions may have a big impact on communities.

    Seeing local experts like Aiden Thompson, with paramedicine and first aid experience, leading such projects inspires me. Their commitment improves not just the general safety of the neighbourhood but also promotes a culture of caring and readiness.
