Enniskillen Masonic Lodge 586 donate CPR manikins for Casualty Care training
We were delighted to receive this generous donation of £350 from Enniskillen Masonic Lodge which was used to purchase a child and an adult manikin which are used to train our crews at Carrybridge and Enniskillen RNLI in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).
A large number of the lifeboat crew in both afloat and shore roles are trained in casualty care and part of this training involves resuscitation. These manikins let our crews practice the speed and compression depth required for both adults and children. One of the manikins came with a small device that scores the care given thus providing realism to the scenario.
We were delighted to be chosen as one of the charities that Enniskillen Masonic Lodge 586 supported as they donate a large amount of money to various local charities throughout the year. With this kind donation and purchase of the manikins this allows both crews at Carrybridge and Enniskillen lifeboat stations to carry out regular casualty care training in a way that is impossible to replicate on another person.
Stephen Scott, Lifeboat Operations Manager, at Carrybridge RNLI commented “We are delighted to receive this generous donation to the lifesaving work of both lifeboat stations on Lough Erne. We would be unable to continue to provide this service without the donations from individuals and organisations alike. The manikins provide a realistic way to train in a very important skill that our crews could be asked to perform and I’d like to thank the Masonic Lodge for donating the funds required to purchase this equipment.
