Year 8 London Ambulance Service First Aid Training

When the London Ambulance came in, they talked to us and demonstrated CPR to us. After that, we had a chance to practice performing CPR. The experience was fun and it has made us more confident in our abilities. The London Ambulance had experienced teachers that taught us very well. We also received cool badges to remember the fun day. Eshal Aamir [8W]

The Team took us through step by step on how to do chest compressions on someone. First, we watched a video telling us why it was important for us to learn. In small groups we learnt where to place our hands and how many times we should do it. We were then given a defibrillator training kit that contained two patches to apply and deliver an electrical shock. The London Ambulance staff told us where to put it and what it would do to the unconscious person. I feel that this was an experience I won't forget and will help me to be a lifesaver in the future. Danvir Singh [8G]

I was assigned to a group and met the adults that were going to be training us on how to do CPR and what to do if a person is in cardiac arrest. I would say CPR was relatively easy to learn. It is important, as whenever a person is in cardiac arrest, we know what to do before the ambulance arrives. Asees Kloay [8Y]
