Representatives from Myddle, Baschurch, Loppington, Clive, Bomere Heath and Ludlow overcame snow and freezing conditions to attend two “back to back” emergency first aid and defibrillator training sessions. The training was provided by West Midlands Ambulance Service, with each session lasting four hours. Volunteers learned how the heart works, how to recognise the signs of a heart attack, how to carry out CPR on an unconscious patient, and how to use one of the new Automated External Defibrillators now being stationed in these villages.
