Cardiac Arrest or a heart attack can happen to anyone. When it does, having someone on hand who knows how to perform CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) and use a defibrillator is critical and can save a life.

We have had a defibrillator in place in Wardington for some time but many people have told us in the past they would not be confident in using resuscitation techniques or in using the defibrillator.

In response to this the Parish Council has arranged a Defibrillator and CPR Training session for parishioners with the support of St John Ambulance which will take place from 10:30am to 12-12:30pm at Wardington Memorial Hall on Saturday 28th September.

All are welcome to attend (including responsible teenagers – the more people who know how to perform CPR and use the defibrillator the better for everyone). You are welcome to just turn up on the day but it would help us to prepare the hall for the session if we have an idea of numbers so if you could e-mail the parish clerk on wardingtonparishcouncil@hotmail.co.uk to let her know you will be attending it would be much appreciated.
