At Streetwork it's mandatory for staff to have their CPR training refreshed every year and after completing the online training modules and then practicing our technique, we are all now up to date.
Why is CPR training important? The majority of sudden cardiac arrests occur outside of hospital so medical staff aren't at hand to take responsibility. Performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on someone who has suffered an Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest can double the chance of the person surviving, so resuscitation is a skill worth learning.
