14 Nov 2024

At London Hearts, we’re passionate about improving cardiac arrest awareness, and we’re thrilled to have recently provided Fulham walking FC with an Automated External, marking a significant step forward in player safety on the pitch.

A Step Towards Preparedness

The AED acquisition is part of a larger effort to ensure that grassroots sports teams are prepared to respond to sudden cardiac emergencies. Fulham Walking FC has made an important commitment to the health and safety of their players, emphasising the importance of having life-saving equipment readily available, even in the hope that it will never need to be used. The club’s leadership has highlighted that this initiative serves as both a practical measure for emergencies and a crucial reminder of the life-saving benefits of being ready to respond to a cardiac arrest situation.

Team Education: CPR and Emergency Response

In addition to securing the AED, Fulham Walking FC has taken proactive steps to raise awareness and educate their players on the critical role of CPR in saving lives. The team has engaged in discussions and training on how to respond to cardiac emergencies, ensuring that everyone on the pitch knows exactly what to do in an emergency. This educational effort complements the club’s commitment to making their sports environment a safe space for all players, fostering a culture of preparedness and responsiveness.

Setting an Example for Others

By implementing a comprehensive Medical Emergency Action Plan and equipping their pitch side with an AED, Fulham Walking FC is setting a powerful example for other sports teams, both at the amateur and professional levels. The message is clear: player safety must be a priority, and having the right equipment and training in place can make all the difference in an emergency.

London Hearts is proud to be a part of this mission. We’re dedicated to raising awareness about cardiac arrest and ensuring that every community has access to the life-saving resources they need. The work we do with teams like Fulham Walking FC shows the impact of collaboration and highlights the importance of taking action in the fight to save lives.

Gratitude and Partnership

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Fulham Walking FC for their dedication to player safety and for championing the cause of cardiac arrest awareness. We also want to express our gratitude to the DAM Foundation for their continued support in making this initiative possible. Together, we are helping to ensure that more people have access to the vital resources they need to respond effectively to sudden cardiac arrest.

This partnership demonstrates the power of community collaboration in safeguarding lives, and we are excited to see what’s next in this ongoing journey. To learn more about how you can get involved in spreading awareness and providing life-saving resources in your community, visit our website.
