As part of his campaign to improve the Emergency Ambulance Response Times in Beverley and Holderness, Graham Stuart MP will be hosting a drop-in event at Withernsea’s Meridian Centre this Saturday.
Named ‘Influence, Educate and Have a Go’, the event is open from 10am to 1pm for anybody to call in and find out how they can help in an emergency situation by having a go a Hands Only CPR and using a defibrillator.
Mr Stuart said: “This will be an exciting and interactive session where people can learn how to help in an emergency situation. St. John Ambulance will show you how to apply bandages, the Pre Hospital Care Programme will teach you how to put somebody in the recovery position and The British Heart Foundation will show you how you can improve somebody’s chance of survival if they have suffered a cardiac arrest.
“The event is open to people of all ages so please drop-in at any time during the morning to hear from the Yorkshire Ambulance Service about the work of our Community First Responder Teams and how you can support or join your local team.
“Cardiac arrest is something that can affect any of us at any time and we are all capable of making a difference to somebody’s chance of survival.”
