Belfast group running free CPR lessons to teach public vital skill

Staff from a Belfast healthcare training academy are hosting free events to teach CPR to the public in a bid to get more people learning the life-saving skill.

Paragon Healthcare Academy are aiming to teach CPR to 250 people in Northern Ireland this year. It comes as figures from earlier this year show that less than 1 in 10 people survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest here.

Every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces the chance of survival by up to 10%.
