Heartstart
Heartstart UK is an initiative co-ordinated by the BHF to teach members of the public what to do in a life-threatening emergency: simple skills that can save lives.
Participants receive 2 hours of hands on first aid training using demonstrations, video footage, treating each other and practicing on resuscitation manikins.
The course covers:
- helping an unconscious casualty
- performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR),
- dealing with choking,
- dealing with serious bleeding
- helping someone that may be having a heart attack.
The course is suitable for people aged 10 years old and above, and participants receive a certificate of attendance and a emergency life support booklet.
The course can be incorporated into a groups’ visit to Thornbridge Outdoors or delivered at a venue of your choice.
