Mark from MISSEDABEAT recently hosted a CPR and Defibrillator Awareness Session for the teams at Little Cubs, Trio Coffee Shop, and Glow Church.
The session focused on:
Addressing common misconceptions like:
"I might hurt the person", "I could be sued", and "Defibrillators are only for professionals".
Highlighting the importance of quick action:
Every minute without CPR or defibrillation reduces survival rates by 10%.
Defibrillation within 3 to 5 minutes increases survival rates to 74%.
Brain damage can occur within 4-6 minutes without oxygen.
Staff practiced CPR on dummies and advanced training with the Brayden CPR manikin, which provides real-time feedback. By the end, attendees expressed greater confidence in their ability to handle emergencies, perform CPR, and use a defibrillator effectively.
Bleed Control Kits Initiative
Mark also introduced the Bleed Control Kit, which MISSEDABEAT aims to include in community defibrillator cabinets. Currently, there are no Bleed Control kits in and around Newton Aycliffe's community cabinets, sponsorship has been secured to enable for some bleed control kits to be added.
If you'd like to donate or sponsor a Bleed Control kit, please get in touch to support this life-saving initiative.
Thank You, Glow Church!

Expanding MISSEDABEAT Services
MISSEDABEAT services are now offering Service Agreements to businesses with community defibrillators. Over recent months, Mark has identified several defibrillators in Newton Aycliffe that are:
Not regularly checked.
Equipped with expired pads or batteries.
unavailable and not registered on the national circuit.
Experiencing errors that go unnoticed due to lack of maintenance.
These issues can be avoided with regular servicing, ensuring defibrillators are fully operational when needed most.
