Police are working with the Scottish Ambulance Service and Save a Life Scotland to provide virtual training sessions on CPR.
As part of a Save a Life Scotland, Restart a Heart Live initiative, the sessions will be live streamed via the Save a Life Scotland Youtube channel on Thursday, 10 October, 2024. They will hourly from 9am.
The initiative aims to equip as many people as possible with the technique, allowing them to help if someone nearby goes into cardiac arrest.
The sessions will cover what to do in the event someone goes into cardiac arrest, how to administer CPR, and how to use a defibrillator. Participants will also be able to ask questions throughout the sessions.
Detective Constable Liam Myers said: “Working alongside partner agencies, we hope to demonstrate that anyone is capable of learning and performing CPR. It is a highly valuable skill that can ultimately save a life.
“I hope participants will come away with the confidence to assist if they see someone in cardiac arrest.”
