CPR is such an important skill to learn.

If any local groups or clubs would like for their volunteers to learn CPR and AED use please reach out to us to organise a course.

This story highlights the importance of the chain of survival.
There is a hard hitting video of the incident in the middle of the article.
The importance of the initial response by bystanders and friends, followed by the attendance of a Community First Responder, and then the National Ambulance Service cannot be over stated.
This combined effort saved this man’s life.

You could be a link in the chain of survival for someone some day.

A man who survived a sudden “no-warning” cardiac arrest is urging members of the public to learn how to do CPR as he shared dramatic footage of the incident.

Gordan Flood, a 48-year-old football coach who had run marathons, suddenly collapsed in a car park after a gym session two years ago.

He is now urging members of the public to learn CPR – cardiopulmonary resuscitation – as part of the Irish Heart Foundation’s “Restart a Heart Day”.

Mr Flood, who now wears an implant after being diagnosed with a rare inflammatory disease affecting the heart muscle, said: “I got a second chance, and I’d ask people to please, take the time to learn CPR. It only takes a few minutes, but it could be the difference between life and death.”

He described those who helped him as “heroes” whose actions mean he can see his children grow up.

Another nights training last night at the most scenic training location going, thanks to Water Safety Ireland Waterford.

For a bit of fun, as the only saying goes “I could do that blindfolded” but some of our members were put to the test last night.

Our CFRs covered many topics which came up at Respond 2026 as well as the practicalities of attending scene and responding to cardiac arrests.

Well done to all the volunteers for giving up their time to commit to training
