Learn how you can save a life

HEARTSTART Discovery is running free two-hour training sessions in emergency life support f or members of the public across Tayside in June.

Being able to perform emergency life support, a set of actions needed to keep someone alive until professional help arrives, gives a casualty the best possible chance of survival.

Courses are free of charge and no medical knowledge is required in order to undertake one.

It only takes two hours to learn the skills which may save a life and it is very likely that the person you help may be a family member or someone close to you.

The sessions cover caring for an unconscious person who is breathing, caring for an unconscious person who is not breathing and how to recognise the signs and symptoms of a heart attack, helping someone who is choking and helping someone who is bleeding badly

The June sessions will be held i n l ocations i n Dundee, Perth, Montrose and Carnoustie.

Heartstart Discovery coordinator Helen Brady said: “Emergency life support skills really do save lives so please consider registering for a session today.

“A Heartstart session could prove to be one of the most important training sessions you have ever undertaken in your life, come along — you can make a difference.”
