Shocktober

Tell us what Shocktober means to you and one lucky winner will receive a St John Pocket Defibrillator

Home Shocktober (1)

78% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in our homes. This Shocktober is your chance to win your own portable and lightweight pocket-sized defibrillator. 

Each year in October ‘Shocktober’ aims to highlight the vital importance of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and CPR in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest.

Having more defibrillators in the community, accessible 24 hours a day, means we can increase the survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest.
