The South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT) is inviting members of the public from across the South West to join them at free community events this October, to learn lifesaving CPR, as part of Restart a Heart Day. This national day aims to raise awareness about cardiac arrest and helps people to learn CPR, giving them lifesaving skills and the confidence to use them.
At each event, people all ages can learn how to deliver lifesaving CPR and how to use and locate a defibrillator.
Members of team SWASFT, including paramedics, emergency care assistants, volunteer community first responders and representatives of the Volunteering & Community Services Department, will be on hand to answer any questions and share their extensive knowledge.
There will be in-depth CPR demonstrations for members of the public to join and take part in. Certificates will be given to everyone who completes the 15-minute CPR sessions. However, any time spent learning about CPR and defibrillation with the team will help towards increasing survival rates for out of hospital cardiac arrest in the Southwest.
Cabot Circus, Bond Street, Broadmead, Bristol BS1 3BD, 10am – 3pm Saturday 19 October
