CPR+Day

U3A and licensed instructors Michele and Peter Bootes recently joined forces to present a hands-on CPR Course at the Pambula Life Saving Club, for both U3A members and members of the public. Participants learned about patient assessment, CPR, the use of a defibrillator and basic emergency first aid procedures. Michele who runs accredited courses as well as providing presentations for community groups said “Knowing at least basic first aid skills can really make a difference in an emergency. “

During the three hour course, Michelle and Peter generously shared their knowledge and experiences. Everyone had the opportunity to practice CPR on mannequins, take care of an unconscious patient and become familiar with the use of defibrillators, now increasingly found in public spaces. Michelle stressed the importance of skills practice and the value of regularly refreshing your first aid knowledge.
