As a general rule, remember\u2013 Hands. Face.

Sadly, you may never know when it may be needed. People can take ill anywhere, anytime\u2026 including the workplace. We\u2019ve found some interactive ways to learn online, and ways to find your nearest defibrillator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.resus.org.uk\/sites\/default\/files\/2020-10\/RSAHNew.png\" alt=\"CPR: Get Hands On!\" width=\"478\" height=\"200\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously we hope you never have to use CPR or access a defibrillator, but we hope even more that if you\u2019re in that situation, you know exactly what to do. It\u2019s always good to know how to restart a heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the context of Covid-19, you may not want to do the rescue breaths. Remember to look after your own health too, but any intervention is better than nothing \u2013 even if it\u2019s alerting others to help. The Resuscitation Council have provided guidance&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.resus.org.uk\/get-involved\/restart-heart-day\">here&nbsp;<\/a>about how best to make sure you\u2019re kept safe, whilst delivering life-saving CPR. Their video is also below which explains more about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"How to do CPR during COVID-19\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/452240742?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually on Restart a Heart Day, the Careers &amp; Enterprise Hub is filled with mannequins and our expert colleagues from the Health Simulation Suite. They come and give demonstrations, and give you the opportunity to learn, practice, and test yourself with a score on restarting a heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, we can\u2019t do that. But we have found a FANTASTIC online resource where you\u2019re part of an interactive video. You have to give instructions how to proceed, and you get the opportunity to test your speed accuracy for the chest compressions, and remind yourself what to do and in what order.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lifesaver.org.uk\/\">CLICK HERE<\/a>&nbsp;and choose either Harry or Jake\u2019s <strong><em>videos*<\/em><\/strong> for the interactive opportunity to remind yourself what to do \u2013 your familiarity and confidence could save a life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have been trained in the past, watching the video above will also serve as a great reminder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your workplace should have designated First Aiders who can support you in such situations, and they should have a system for recording accidents and first aid incidents. When you join a new workplace, make sure as part of your induction that you know who the First Aiders are, and what the processes are for raising the alarm, and recording the incident afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you know where the AED devices are locally?<br>The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodsamapp.org\/medical\">GoodSam App<\/a>&nbsp;helps you locate local defibrillators (including photos), and you can raise an alert to request help through it too.
