What to do in the following situations until professional help arrives:
- Cardiac Arrest
- Heart Attack
- Choking
- Severe Bleeding
It is not only the elderly but any of the above situations can happen to anyone of any age. HeartStart 2 hour course is run every other Wednesday evening from 7.00 – 9.00 at Farnham St Johns Ambulance Station (next door to Waitrose), parking is free after 7.00 and the course is a donation.
The contact is Keith Aston kc.aston@btinternet.com.. More info here.
Roger and myself found the course excellent – just hope we never have to use our new skills
