Emergency Medical Training Sessions
After several training sessions over recent years we now have a small but keen band of local residents who have learned valuable life saving skills on dealing with medical emergencies including heart attacks, major bleeds, choking and fractures, as well as the use of our Defibrillators and how to give CPR. Much useful information can also be found on our webite.
However all residents are strongly encouraged to attend future training sessions so that the knowledge on what to do in an emergency can be spread widely throughout our local community for the benefit of us all. Responding immediately to a medical emergency with simple first aid before the ambulance or paramedic arrives, has been shown to increase the casualty’s chances of recovery significantly. Hence sharing first aid tips and arranging emergency medical training sessions to help people feel more able and confident to respond when the unfortunate happens is seen as an important community function.
The British Heart Foundation also has a free online 15 minute training course called RevivR on its website that teaches you how to give effective CPR and use a Defibrillator. All you need is a cushion and a mobile phone or tablet to complete the course.
