Details of the Basic Life Saving course:
Heart and circulatory disease claims’ around 200,000 lives each year. Out of hospital cardiac arrest events will have a much better survival rate with both good CPR and an available defibrillator.
This is evidenced by the survival rate in Scotland for an out of hospital cardiac arrest going from 1 in 20 to 1 in 12.
