Could you save her?

Would you know what to do if a woman collapsed in front of you?

In the UK, women are statistically less likely than men to receive CPR from bystanders in public, partly due to fears around touching their chest or removing clothing.

Here’s what you need to know:
⭐️ You don’t need to remove clothing to perform CPR.
⭐️ Keep her bra on. You can perform chest compressions without removing it.
⭐️ A bra doesn’t need to be removed to use a defibrillator (AED). You can work around it.
⭐️ Act immediately. Call 999, start CPR and follow the call handler’s instructions.

Last Friday, for Restart a Heart Day, our Training experts delivered FREE CPR sessions across our city-wide venues, helping more people build the confidence to act when it matters most.

Because one day, it could be your mum, your sister, a friend or a colleague.

Active Schools deliver PE experience to future primary teachers 🌟

Our Active Schools Aberdeen team are delighted to be partnering with the University of Aberdeen to provide student teachers on the university's PGDE course with practical experience to help deliver fun and inclusive PE lessons.

The new intiative is designed to build confidence around delivering PE in Primary schools, with sessions aiming to create positive physical activity experiences for all pupils, no matter their interests or abilities.

Jamie Mundie, our lead active schools coordinator said “One of the most important messages we want to get across is that you don’t have to see yourself as ‘sporty’ to deliver a positive PE experience. It’s about making activities fun and inclusive for children, while giving the student teachers the chance to develop new skills to deliver PE lessons in their own schools"
