Would You Know What to Do? Learn CPR – It Could Save a Life.

CPR – A Skill That Can Save a Life.

Every year, thousands of people in the UK suffer a cardiac arrest outside of hospital. In many of these cases, immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can mean the difference between life and death. Knowing CPR is a vital life skill – one that everyone can learn, and one that you might one day need to use to save a loved one, a friend, or even a stranger.

When someone’s heart stops beating, every second counts. Without CPR, brain damage can occur in just a few minutes, and survival rates drop rapidly. However, early CPR can more than double the chances of survival, especially if combined with the use of a defibrillator.

The British Heart Foundation provides excellent guidance and resources to help you learn CPR. Visit their website here:
