NI council offering free CPR and defibrillator training

A Northern Ireland council is rolling out a series of free CPR and defibrillator training courses across their borough.

Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council have announced that the life saving sessions will be available at a number of their community centres in the coming weeks with some courses already fully booked.

Announcing the courses, the council said that there are around 1,400 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) in Northern Ireland each year and having someone trained in CPR and AED nearby can significantly increase the chance of survival.
