❤️ Do you know where your nearest AED is?

In a cardiac emergency, every second matters. Early CPR and rapid access to an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can dramatically increase a person’s chance of survival.

Across Newbridge, there are a number of publicly accessible AEDs that could help save a life. We’ve listed them here to help everyone become familiar with where their closest one is located.

You never know when you might need it. It could help you save the life of a neighbour, friend, family member, or even a stranger.

📍 Take a moment today to check where your nearest AED is.
📲 Share this post so more people in our community know where to find one in an emergency.

Together, we can help make Newbridge a safer, heart-ready community.

🚨 AED Back in Service – Ryan’s Field 🚨

We’re happy to let the community know that the AED located at Ryan’s Field is now back in service and ready for use.

Thank you to everyone for your patience and understanding while the AED was temporarily out of service. Having a working AED available in the community is vital in the event of a cardiac emergency, and we appreciate your support while we ensured it was fully operational again.

As always, if you ever need to use it in an emergency, call 999 or 112 and the operator will guide you.

❤️ Supporting a heart-safe community together.

KCRU is only one out of the 300+ CFR Schemes within Ireland.

The logo's of a small mix of schemes here reflect the diversity, scale and shared goals of each of the over 300 CFR schemes operating under the direction of the National Ambulance Service (NAS)

KCRU has been able to develop due to the support of not alone our locally based schemes back in 2015 but through the guidance and support at a national level.

This continues and we have also been privileged to provide support to schemes whether it be training, equipment or advice.

Working together at all times in the interests of patient care.
