>   PRAYER FOCUS: MALAWI

     Maureen Stevenson writes from DGMH hospital in Livingstonia -  A severe storm on 7th January damaged six houses at our lakeshore clinic of Luwuchi, removing the roofs completely from some. Please pray that ongoing repairs will be completed quickly, so that we can get a new member of staff settled there.  Luwuchi clinic is currently very busy as the Gorodi Road is closed for further repairs and so people find it difficult to get up to Livingstonia.  Please remember all travelling is difficult at present due to the rains and mud.  One lady nearly died due to delays in transport to the hospital as one road was impassable and a long detour had to be made.   Thankfully she survived.”

>   N.I. PUBLIC ACCESS DEFIBRILLATION PROJECT (NIPAD)

New hope for Cardiac Arrest victims in North and West Belfast.

·        Are you interested in becoming a cardiac First Responder trained to saves lives?

·        An opportunity for each of us to make a difference is being given by a new research project organised by the Departments of Cardiology and Public Health at the Royal Victoria Hospital.

·        This project will find out how we can rescue more people who sustain sudden cardiac arrest outside hospital.  We have trained approximately 700 volunteers to use Automated Defibrillators (machines used to shock the heart rhythm to normal).  This involves one simple 3-hour training session during working hours.  Following this, the volunteers will be fully certified First Responders, enabled to save lives and make a difference in the community.  Each person trained is given a defibrillator for 1 week in the North and West Belfast area.  This will not affect your day to day work.  No previous medical knowledge is required.  The project is fully supported by the Ambulance Service.

·        All volunteers are welcome; all that is required is a driving licence and access to a car.

·        If you are interested, pick up a form from the church porch.

·         Alternatively see www.med.qub.ac.uk/nipad.

·        Telephone 079 800 13910

·        Contact: Mr Frank Kee, Dept of Epidemiology and Public Health, Mulhouse Building, RVH, Belfast BT12 6BA.
