CPR Lead - Fife

St John Scotland
VO100090

Our CPR Lead will support the delivery of bystander CPR demonstrations to community groups across your local area. The demonstrations are very hands-on - we aim to give people the skills they need to recognise a cardiac arrest and take the appropriate action. We work with schools (from Primary 1 and above), community groups, businesses, and other organisations. Demonstrations are organised and delivered by volunteers. St John Scotland promotes the placing of Public Access Defibrillators in communities across Scotland and offers free CPR and defibrillator awareness as part of this work.
