Presentation of Infant CPR Manikin
The council was pleased to present Dick Tracy with an infant CPR manikin at the council meeting on 10 January. Dick is a former paramedic, and runs our defibrillator training sessions in the village free of charge. The council agreed that it would like to present the manikin to Dick as an expression of thanks. Dick is very keen to raise awareness of public access defibrillators, and he has some shocking statistics on the increased survival rate of defibrillators are used when someone goes into cardiac arrest. Dick has been a great help to Kennington Parish Council, and supported the council to purchase four public access defibrillators, which are located around the village.
