Additional Defibrillator Training

Defibrilator Training

Debra Jerdan from Berwick Youth Project joined us at Tweed St to do another session of the British Heart Foundation RevivR CPR and Defibrillator training with our drivers. The drivers found it really informative and it definitely made them feel more at ease if they ever had to use a defibrillator, knowing now how it works.

Debra was using the training module from the British Heart Foundation which can be found online at http://www.bhf.org.uk. The training was really informative and the drivers left feeling more confident if they ever had to do CPR or use a defibrillator.

There are a number of Defibrillators in place around the town which can be found by searching here:
