Thank you to everyone who dropped by our stand in Perth yesterday to learn CPR on Restart a Heart Day. Great to have so many learn CPR and support their community.

Please use 999 wisely - If it's not life or limb threatening call NHS24 on 111.
If it's an emergency, always call 999.

Could you get to a cardiac arrest and keep the beat?

Try the free Responder Rush game from Goodsam to see what a GoodSAM responder does when they get the call.

It's a game, not a CPR course, but it's a fun way to get the rhythm in your head.

In Perth City Centre today?
Pop by our stand to learn CPR - it's a fast skill to learn but it could save someone's life.
