Yesterday evening we had the pleasure of delivering Basic Life Support training to our local community to build confidence around CPR and the use of defib machines.
Stats produced by the British Heart Foundation identified that from a survey over 4,000 adults across the UK, it showed a third of people (33%) have never learned CPR, of those, almost half (47%) said it was because they didn't know where to learn, while nearly a quarter (24%) said they didn't have the confidence to learn.
We know that immediate initiation of CPR can double or quadruple survival from out-hospital cardiac arrest. Defibrillation within 3–5 minutes of collapse can produce survival rates up to 50–70%.
Did you know you can learn CPR for free through with “REVIVR”?
If you’re local give us a call on 0333 188 7787 to see how we can help. We believe everyone should know CPR and feel confident in initiating it, so take action today and help save lives.
