New Dates for <strong>2018</strong>!!<br />
♥ Every week in Scotland, 70 people suffer cardiac arrest.<br />
♥ More than 3,500 people per year in Scotland are treated by the<br />
Ambulance Service following a cardiac arrest.<br />
♥ Only one in 20 people will survive.<br />
♥ Without resuscitation, cardiac arrest is always fatal<br />
♥ But, performing CPR could double that person’s chance of survival<br />
Heartstart courses are free of charge and it only takes two hours to learn the<br />
skills which may someday save a life:<br />
♥ Recovery position<br />
♥ CPR and using an Automated External Defi brillator (AED)<br />
♥ Heart Attack<br />
♥ Choking<br />
♥ Serious bleeding<br />
