CPR & AED - Community Education Session

Dr Joe McGirr - Independent Member for Wagga Wagga

Join Dr Joe McGirr &amp; Heart of the Nation for a community information session on sudden cardiac arrest and what to do if someone needs help.

International Hotel Wagga Wagga

Parts of Wagga Wagga have extremely high rates of cardiac arrest, but unfortunately also very low rates of bystander CPR. This means Wagga Wagga is at greater risk of higher mortality rates when someone’s heart suddenly stops – but together, we can change that.Heart of the Nation and Dr Joe McGirr, Member for Wagga Wagga, are helping you and your community combat this critical health issue by providing free education on what is sudden cardiac arrest, the signs, and what to do if someone needs help.A sudden cardiac arrest is not a heart attack. When someone’s heart suddenly stops, without the quick response of calling 000, starting CPR and a shock from an AED, the overall rate of survival from a cardiac arrest is incredibly low.But having the necessary tools available is only half the story. Let’s make sure you know how to use them, and connected to your community to help respond.Join us for a FREE community education session, where we’ll show you how to stay ready, confident, and capable. In just 60-90 minutes, you’ll be equipped with the skills to CALL PUSH SHOCK so you can step up and help a family member, friend, neighbour, or even a stranger when it matters most.Join us on Wednesday 2 April 2025, 6pm to 7.30pm, at the International Hotel Wagga Wagga.Seats are limited.For further information, call Dr Joe McGirr's office on <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=dr+joemcgirr&sca_esv=324e4f2ce9566dfd&sxsrf=AHTn8zps04F0VqP6ghK_4VYpgiOAHLIRRg%3A1741735416963&ei=-MXQZ7XBOvzD4-EPxrHsuQs&ved=0ahUKEwi1nciGloOMAxX84TgGHcYYO7cQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=dr+joemcgirr&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiDGRyIGpvZW1jZ2lycjIHECMYsAIYJzIHECMYsAIYJzIHECMYsAIYJzINEC4YgAQYxwEYDRivATIHEAAYgAQYDTIGEAAYDRgeMgYQABgNGB4yBhAAGA0YHjIGEAAYDRgeMggQABiABBiiBEjNDlBYWM0NcAF4AJABAJgB6QGgAe8LqgEFMC42LjK4AQPIAQD4AQGYAgegAtsIwgILEAAYgAQYsAMYogTCAggQABiwAxjvBcICBBAjGCfCAhAQLhiABBjHARgnGIoFGK8BwgILEC4YgAQYkQIYigXCAgUQABiABMICEBAAGIAEGLEDGIMBGBQYhwLCAgsQLhiABBjHARivAcICCBAAGKIEGIkFwgIJEAAYgAQYChgNmAMAiAYBkAYEkgcFMS41LjGgB81t&sclient=gws-wiz-serp#" title="https://www.google.com/search?q=dr+joemcgirr&sca_esv=324e4f2ce9566dfd&sxsrf=AHTn8zps04F0VqP6ghK_4VYpgiOAHLIRRg%3A1741735416963&ei=-MXQZ7XBOvzD4-EPxrHsuQs&ved=0ahUKEwi1nciGloOMAxX84TgGHcYYO7cQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=dr+joemcgirr&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiDGRyIGpvZW1jZ2lycjIHECMYsAIYJzIHECMYsAIYJzIHECMYsAIYJzINEC4YgAQYxwEYDRivATIHEAAYgAQYDTIGEAAYDRgeMgYQABgNGB4yBhAAGA0YHjIGEAAYDRgeMggQABiABBiiBEjNDlBYWM0NcAF4AJABAJgB6QGgAe8LqgEFMC42LjK4AQPIAQD4AQGYAgegAtsIwgILEAAYgAQYsAMYogTCAggQABiwAxjvBcICBBAjGCfCAhAQLhiABBjHARgnGIoFGK8BwgILEC4YgAQYkQIYigXCAgUQABiABMICEBAAGIAEGLEDGIMBGBQYhwLCAgsQLhiABBjHARivAcICCBAAGKIEGIkFwgIJEAAYgAQYChgNmAMAiAYBkAYEkgcFMS41LjGgB81t&sclient=gws-wiz-serp#" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">6921 1622</a>.
