Hazel Thompson, from St John Ambulance, brought in manakins and a defibrillator trainer, to demonstrate the primary survey, recovery position, CPR and the use of the defibrillator.
Hazel said,
“This September, St John Ambulance are determined to equip thousands of people with the skills they need to save lives. Whether it’s knowing how to respond to a cardiac arrest, severe bleeding, or a choking incident, these are critical moments where quick action can mean the difference between life and death.
“We know that many people want to help their loved ones but simply haven’t had the chance to learn first aid. Save a Life September is about making that knowledge accessible to everyone and encouraging everyone to learn these vital skills in less than 30 minutes.”
