Heartstart Discovery will be running four two-hour sessions in emergency life support for members of the pubic this month. One of the session will be taking place in Perth on Saturday, August 27 from 10am until noon.
The course is free of charge and no previous medical experience is required to sign up for the course. Participants will learn how to care for an unconscious person who is breathing and for an unconscious person who is not breathing, they will learn how to perform CPR, gain an awareness of defibrillators and learn how to recognise the signs and symptoms of a heart attack and what actions to take.
