Defib donation for radio club

Transmission is loud and clear between the Bendigo Amateur Radio and Electronics Club and the La Trobe University Student Paramedic Association. The LASPA raised funds for an AED device back in 2019, and finally got the chance to deliver it last Wednesday. BAREC president Neil Patton expressed his thanks to the student paramedics.

“BAREC is extremely grateful to LASPA and for their generous support,” he said. “The arrival of the defibrillator fulfils certain aspects of our strategic plan and it will be of service to BAREC members and visitors to
the Bendigo East Hall”.

LASPA Representatives Matilda Henley-Johnstone and Zoe Biggs conducted a
CPR training session, providing BAREC members with the skills and knowledge
to use the defibrillator, if it was needed.
