St John Ambulance Derbyshire

🚨Remember:

💔Cardiac arrest is an electrical problem - the person will be unconscious.
💔Heart attack is a circulation problem - the person will probably be conscious.

Get to recognise the difference so you know what action to take in an emergency.

This October, St John Ambulance is teaming up with Resuscitation Council UK, and other organisations all over the world to raise awareness of cardiac arrest and teach CPR.

In the UK, less than one in 10 people survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Knowing CPR means that one day, you could help save the life of your family, friend, or stranger.

Will you join us and give them the best chance of surviving?

Friday 18 October, 9am-5pm, Derbion Community Hub, Derbion Shopping Centre, London Road, Derby, DE1 2PL.

Saturday 19 October, 9am-5pm, Derbion Community Hub, Derbion Shopping Centre, London Road, Derby, DE1 2PL.

When it comes to CPR, every 'body' is the same. Regardless of gender or body type, you use the same technique.

Everyone deserves the best possible chance of survival.

Shockingly, a third of Brits are afraid to give CPR to a woman because they are worried about touching breasts.
