CII & PFS-Interactive Training-You need to learn CPR

Venue: The Exminster Room, Exeter Court Hotel, Kennford, Exeter, EX6 7UX

Session Overview:

CPR is an emergency lifesaving procedure, performed when the heart stops beating, often called a cardiac arrest. It is necessary to save the life of someone in cardiac arrest.

Each year over 30,000 people have an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the UK. Less than 1 in 10 survive. Giving CPR promptly and using a defibrillator can more than double someone’s chance of survival.

That’s why British Heart Foundation exists. Funding research is how they change the game. The BHF fund over £100 million of lifesaving research into heart and circulatory diseases each year . We all have a role to play. The tools we have at our disposal today - from heart transplants and pacemakers to stents and portable defibrillators - are all down to research. Research made possible by people like you.

Join us on the 16^th September for an interactive session on how to perform CPR and how to use a Defibrillator.

1. Understand who the BHF are and what they can do to help the British public.
2. Know how to perform CPR after a short hands-on session.
