Ever wondered what you would do if someone was choking? If someone suddenly collapses? Want to learn how to save lives?

Heart Heroes is a project where we equip students to deliver Basic Life Support (BLS) sessions to other students, staff, and members of the community. The sessions cover:

❤️ Delivering effective CPR
❤️ Using an AED
❤️ How to help someone who is choking
❤️ Putting someone in the recovery position

Do you think you would benefit from a BLS training session? We are currently looking for UoM staff and students interested in participating in our open sessions.

Each session lasts between 45 minutes and two hours, and is a great way to help people feel more confident about what to do in an emergency. Sessions will be running from February to May.

If you’re interested, please look out for our sign-up sheet, or contact [email protected] to discuss any queries.
