Heartstart training for students in Newent

 “Newent Community School and Sixth Form Centre were very pleased to accept assistance once again from three members of Bristol and Gloucestershire Wing in providing a Heartstart Course as part of their Year 12 Induction Programme. The course, which is taught over 2-3 hours covers: dealing with an unconscious person, the signs and symptoms of a heart attack, recognising a cardiac arrest and performing CPR, dealing with choking and dealing with serious bleeding. As well as good publicity for the ACO, students are now equipt to deal with life threatening injuries and could save a life. “
