CPR and Defibrillator training for schools and colleges

*FOR SCHOOLS IN THE WARWICK, LEAMINGTON AND KENILWORTH AREA ONLY*

Warwickshire Hearts is a collaborative project between Warwick District Community First Responders, Waterside Medical Centre and Evelyn’s Gift. It is the first initiative of its kind in Warwickshire and the aim of the project is to improve survival rates from cardiac arrest in our community. The UK currently has poor survival rates, compared with other countries in Europe.

All schools in Warwick, Leamington Spa and Kenilworth are invited to join the initiative to provide training in emergency life-support skills to young people and adults. We have already trained more than 1800 people, and the training is available to Year 5 and 6 pupils, secondary school and college students, as well as parents and staff.

Some of the groups trained, or scheduled to be trained, include:

• Year 6 pupils (as part of the PHSE curriculum), parents and staff at local primary schools: Coten End, Barford St Peter’s, Brookhurst, All Saints, St Mary’s Immaculate, Milverton, Woodloes, Alveston, St Anthony’s, Telford, Wellesbourne, Fenny Compton and Bishops Tachbrook
• Sixth forms – Myton, Heart of England, Kenilworth, Campion
• GP practices – patients at Waterside Medical Centre, the New Dispensary, Kineton, Tysoe and Fenny Compton  
• Students at Warwickshire College
• Staff at Warwickshire County Council
• Free Radio station, Beehive Nursery, numerous local Scout & Guide Groups, Riding for the Disabled and many other local Community Groups

The sessions are run by qualified, enhanced DBS checked trainers and cover a range of emergency life-support skills including;

• dealing with an unconscious casualty
• cardiac arrest in adults and children – CPR
• suspected heart attack
• defibrillator training

The sessions take 60 - 90 minutes, depending on the age group. Individuals only need to attend one session.

The Warwickshire Hearts scheme is a charitable programme and so no charge is made for the training. However, donations from groups or attendees will go towards the charitable work of Warwick District Community First Responders. Donations can be made through our website: www.warwickshirehearts.org
