Richard attended an event in Parliament last week, hosted by the British Heart Foundation, to learn in just 15 minutes how to save a life when someone has a cardiac arrest using RevivR, the BHF’s innovative online CPR training tool.
In 15 minutes, RevivR can teach you how to recognise a cardiac arrest, give feedback on chest compressions and outline how to correctly use a defibrillator, giving anyone the confidence to step in and save a life in the event of the ultimate medical emergency.
The training is easy, quick and free – all you need is a mobile phone and a cushion.
Immediate CPR and defibrillation can more than double the chances of survival – yet a recent survey suggests that more than a third of adults across the country have never undertaken any form of CPR training. With over 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests every year in the UK and a survival rate of less than one in 10, the BHF is urging everyone to learn lifesaving CPR and give someone the best chance of survival from a cardiac arrest.
Richard Fuller MP said:
CPR can save lives, and it was great to see this essential skill being taught in a new and innovative way through RevivR.
I would encourage my constituents to learn through the BHF’s easy and free tool which can be found by visiting https://revivr.bhf.org.uk/.
