Calls for more Scots to be trained in CPR to save hundreds of lives
The group, Save a Life Scotland, wants to double the number of people surviving a cardiac arrest in Scotland by 2023.
Campaigners say hundreds lives could be saved if more of us were trained in CPR.
Every week in Scotland, seventy people suffer a cardiac arrest but an average of just four of them survive.
The group, Save a Life Scotland, wants to double that rate by 2023.
Director Lisa McInnes says more widespread training in life-saving treatment would make all the difference.....
Lisa said: "We've found that people who live in really rural areas are less likely to survive a cardiac arrest.
"They often live further apart, may not be so close to a hospital or a GP's surgery or there may not be as many defibrillators in their community. "There may not be there to witness it. "We also know that people who live in areas of multiple deprivation are less likely to get CPR if they do collapse."
