What would you do if someone collapses unconscious in front of you?

Use of CPR and a Defibrillator to SAVE A LIFE

Statistics - what a turn off, but with 60,000 cardiac arrests in the UK, a survival rate of 8.5% and with 80% being in the home, can you safely ignore learning how to respond? The survival rate in other parts of the world is up to 35% but lack of knowledge in the UK leaves us lagging far behind.

Prompt action is essential. Learning on the job is not an option.

The effectiveness of CPR and use of a defibrillator were briefly shown at District Assembly and District Conference but “hands-on” learning is far more effective than listening to a lecture.

It takes less than an hour to learn how to perform CPR and to use a defibrillator. Are you willing to put off knowing how to apply these life savings skills in the hope you will never be faced with standing idly by when you could have done so much more?

The Rotary district Heartwize team would be pleased to visit your club to teach the simple skills to your club members and families, or to a local community group in your village or town.  We just need a date, a venue, and about 50 minutes to one hour for the talk and hands-on practical session.  Please do get in touch, and SAVE A LIFE. heartwize@rotary1070.org or phone 07774 231098.

The following links are to some material you can use to publicise your event to your community, all in editable format to suit your community group or club and the occasion:

Maybe you would like to learn these simple skills then pass them on to others.  We are always keen to have other Rotarians join our team.  Full support and insurance from the Heartwize charity will be provided.
