Digital CPR learning course launched

The British Heart Foundation is launching new free RevivR (CPR) training courses across the UK.

The 15 minute course includes a simulated call to emergency services and camera feedback during the session.

One to four people are affected by cardio events including heart attacks or strokes. This gives a high possibility that every person will know at least someone who has been affected and the impact this has on their loved ones.

Performing CPR and defibrillation can more than double the chances of survival in some cases.

Balvinder Kaur, fundraising manager for Birmingham and Solihull said: “Every year there are more than 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests but fewer than one in 10 people survive.

“Early intervention, coupled with access to a circuited defibrillator can increase chances of survival in the current climate where the NHS Health systems are challenged.

“Many of us will witness a cardiac arrest in our lifetime. Be ready for that day with RevivR, our fast, free and easy-to-use online training course. ”
