Put defibrillators in public places, say Oliver King’s parents

By Dominic Hughes – Health correspondent, BBC News

The parents of Oliver King who died of heart failure during a school swimming lesson in Liverpool want to see defibrillators in all public buildings.

They say that more than a dozen young people die each week from undiagnosed heart problems.

An e-petition has been launched to try to force Parliament to discuss the issue.

The call for more defibrillators comes after the Bolton player Fabrice Muamba – who himself nearly died during a match – returned to his club on Wednesday, where he stepped out on to the pitch to a warm welcome.

His life was saved after he received prompt treatment on the pitch, including the use of the defibrillator at the Tottenham ground where he collapsed during an away match

via BBC News – Put defibrillators in public places, say Oliver King’s parents.

This week,  a series of rebroadcasts of recent shows are scheduled

Mal discusses news about the local Council bringing courses to youngsters, as advertised in the Liverpool Echo.

“THOUSANDS of city teenagers are to be offered lifesaving training in memory of a schoolboy who died moments after winning a school swimming race.

Every 14 to 16 year-old in Liverpool will be able to enrol on an emergency first aid course following the tragic death of 12-year-old Oliver King.

The fit and active pupil died during a sports lesson at King David High School, in Childwall, in March last year, from medical condition sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS) – which claims at least 12 lives a week.

The Oliver King Foundation has launched an online petition calling on the Government to install defibrillators in all public buildings by 2017, and to offer those aged 12 to 35 a scan that could pick up SADS.”
