Help Save Lives was originally launched to promote defibrillators and to spread the word about how important they are and why they should be everywhere.  Now 7 years on – we are still here and still working to the same mission.

We are still doing what we set out to do and along the way we have added some fantastic essential life saving products and services.

We only offer one brand of defibrillator with an essential switch! Most defibrillators available on the market have 2 sets of electrode pads – one for adults and one for children. From personal experience this can be confusing and time consuming to the layperson using the device, especially if they haven’t had training. With the Mediana A15 defibrillator all they have to do is flick a switch – amazing.

About 6 years ago we were lucky enough to help promote the anti-choking device – LifeVac. This simple, easy to use device can stop a person choking if the First Aid protocol does not work (back slaps and abdominal thrust) or if a person cannot have the protocol performed on them. This amazing device has now saved over 300 people from ages 4 months to 96 years around the world. WOW!

Two years ago we realised how good 4-11 year old children were at basic First Aid. So we developed a First Aid class, created some lovely characters and wrote a fun book for younger children to support the classes – FAB First Aid. We have now trained over 20,000 Primary school children and even won an award for this from the Royal Borough of Greenwich Business awards. Our continued motivation comes not only from the joy of teaching children these important life skills, as the owner of Help Save Lives I had a very personal experience that changed my life. Sadly my own father became unwell and I found myself in the situation where I had to perform CPR and use my own personal defibrillator on him. After this surreal incident I was determined to introduce these skills to as many children as I could so that in the future they might remember what to do if they are ever put in this situation.

LifeVac Europe and Help Save Lives have worked together since the very beginning, Click here to visit Help Save Lives/FAB First Aid
