A Scottish nurse has told how he used CPR for the first time to help save his own father's life after he collapsed with a cardiac arrest.
Although Stewart Beveridge received mandatory training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation as part of his job, he had never used it on a patient. That all changed in September when Bob Beveridge suffered a cardiac arrest while he was visiting Stewart in Stenhousemuir.
Stewart, who is a nurse at NHS Forth Valley, immediately began CPR while his father's wife Elaine McGinlay rang 999 and spoke to call hander Hayley Meldrum until an ambulance arrived.
