Sir Nicholas Soames, MP for Mid Sussex, joined Co-Chair of SHC Dr Rachael James, Vice Chair Jason Palmer, Steve Morris and colleagues from GTR / Southern Railways at East Grinstead Railway station this morning to showcase the AED which successfully resuscitated a member of the public a few weeks ago.
Steve Morris had his life saved by a shock delivered from an AED and The Sussex Heart Charity has funded Steve to undergo training to enable him to become a qualified Community Resuscitation Trainer.
The successful resuscitation of the individual just after Christmas at East Grinstead station and Steve’s story are testament to the importance of having AEDs in public places.
