How to save a life in Hawthorn

  • 2023-10-26
Knowing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is an invaluable life skill, which can make all the difference if required in a medical emergency.

Learning to identify when an ambulance is needed versus a visit to the GP, and what information is expected to be given, can save time when it matters most.

Hawthorn Maternal and Child Health Centre in Victoria frequently provides informative sessions, workshops and events relating to infants and young children. Information is key for parents and guardians, as nothing is more important than the safety of the children under their care.

Programs such as this rely on brochure printing to get valuable information out to attendees. Having an easily accessible document to take home can be the tangible reminder necessary to keep knowledge fresh on a range of vital topics.

Hawthorn Maternal and Child Health Centre will be covering practical demonstrations of CPR and allowing participants to practice on a mannequin during the program. They will also discuss management of a choking incident, and Signs to watch out for that indicate a potentially serious illness.

These discussions could be lifesaving, and CPR refresher courses are recommended annually to retain confidence.

This two-hour CPR program starts at 10am on Saturday the 18th of November. Booking is essential, and a cost of $40 per person is payable on the day.
