BMRA is partnering with the British Heart Foundation, BMRA’s President’s charity for 2022, to offer members CPR training.

CPR is Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, an emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating.

The sessions would take place at BMRA HQ in Huntingdon, most likely in November, and would last approx. one hour.

Should such a session be of interest to you, your employees, and your colleagues, please email [email protected] to register your interest.

Why is it important?
Approximately 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen every year in the UK. Sadly, less than 1 in 10 people survive these cardiac arrests. Performing CPR can more than double the chances of survival in some cases.

The BHF wants more people to survive by making sure you know that when someone collapses and stops breathing, it’s important to call 999, perform CPR and use a defibrillator if there’s one available nearby. As around 80% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in the home, this gives mums, dads, sons, daughters and friends the best chance of surviving.

Why not try the CPR app?
Learning how to save a life is now easier than ever with RevivR, our free 15-minute CPR training that teaches you exactly what to do when someone has a cardiac arrest. You can complete the RevivR training anywhere you want - all you need is your phone and a cushion.
