CPR (Community)

Sudden cardiac arrest is one the UK’s biggest killers. It can strike at any time. It can happen to anyone. And when it does happen, there isn’t any time to waste. Every minute without CPR being applied reduces the chance of a patient’s survival by 10%2. Think about that for a second.

If someone in your family, a person you work with, or a stranger in the street suffers a cardiac arrest, possessing the skills to perform CPR could mean they survive to tell the tale.

With an estimated 60,000 out of hospital cardiac arrests occurring every year in the UK alone, make sure you are prepared. LIVES’ CPR courses are regulated and give you a nationally recognised qualification. Completing the course provides you with the knowledge and skills needed to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Once learnt, it’s something you’ll always carry with you. You’ll never know when you might need it. You’ll always know what to do when that time comes.
