CPR Skills for life - Defibrillator Training for all Members - 27 October

Published 12:45 on 21 Sep 2026

Would you like to learn or have a refresher session, about how to use our club Defibrillator?

This CPR Skills for Life session will be run by the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance team.

Cardiac Arrests are the most called to incidents for their Critical Care Teams. But did you know that fewer than 1 in 10 survive an out of hospital cardiac arrest?

For every minute that someone is in cardiac arrest without receiving CPR and early defibrillation used on them, their chance of survival decreases by 10%.

Early defibrillation within 35 minutes of collapse can increase survival rates by up to 50-70%.

It is their mission to boost the confidence of our community to begin basic life support when they see someone collapse.

Interested ? Then sign up on WebCollect (here) - and add your name to the list. This is open to all club members and the training is FREE OF CHARGE.

This session will be for about 20 people, but more sessions can be arranged if demand merits it.

If anyone require any further information, please contact Viv our Social Secretary (here)
