🫀 CPR myth: “I might make it worse.”
If someone has collapsed and isn’t breathing normally (or only gasping):
Call 999 • Start chest compressions • Follow the operator’s instructions.

Delighted to welcome new publicly available defibrillators into our communities. In areas facing the greatest health inequalities, access to emergency equipment can be lifesaving. Thanks to St John Scotland for the equipment and training.
