The statistics are alarming.
One Australian has a heart attack or stroke every 4 minutes.
Heart Week, from May 2nd to 8th, is a timely reminder to raise awareness about the importance of heart health and Heart Health Checks for more at-risk Australians.
If the heart attack isn’t to be prevented, then ensuring access to a defibrillator within 180 seconds is vital in saving a life.
With over 5,900 community pharmacies across Australia, it is our goal to ensure pharmacy’s across the nation help play a vital role in supporting the health of all Australians. This includes being a defibrillator access point should a member of the public nearby need it.
Joining us in this episode is Scott Carpenter, Business Manager for Heart 180, and Nick Salkeld from Community Care Chemist to share his experience.
Enjoy.
