A team of volunteers training in CPR and the use of defribulator and oxygen. On call to the ambulance service to be on the scene in the event of a cardiac incident.
Volunteers needed to spread the load. Once trained it is up to you how much time you can offer from as little as a few hours spent on call. We average one call a month but when we are called we may save a life.
