Drivers Carry Out Defibrillator Training
A massive thanks to Debra Jerdan from Berwick Youth Project for coming into Cancer Cars HQ today, and doing defibrillator training with some of our drivers.
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:
