The South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT) is inviting you take part in a 'Restart a Heart' event at St Sidwell’s Leisure Centre, Exeter, EX1 2JX | 16:00–19:00 on Wednesday 15 October.An initiative led by the Resuscitation Council UK, 'Restart a Heart' raises awareness of cardiac arrests and equips people with the confidence and skills to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use a defibrillator. By learning these simple techniques, members of the public can play a vital role in improving survival rates for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests.
Paramedics, emergency care assistants, volunteer community first responders, and colleagues from the Volunteering & Community Services team at SWASFT will deliver free, hands-on training sessions providing participants with the to chance practise on manikins, and learn how to locate and use a defibrillator in an emergency.
Everyone who completes a 15-minute CPR session will receive a certificate, but even a few minutes spent learning from the team will help towards increasing survival rates for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests across the South West.
