Learn life-saving skills with Heartstart Discovery

Heartstart Discovery is running a series of training sessions in Angus this month.

The sessions cover caring for an unconscious person who is breathing, caring for an unconscious person who is not breathing and performing CPR, awareness of defibrillators and how to recognise the signs and symptoms of a heart attack and how to deal with it.
