Pant Memorial Institute will be hosting a free first aid training course in September for villagers to help them gain the skills to deal with medical emergencies.
Learn CPR which can help save a life
This free first aid training will be delivered by the MedAid Services Community Initiative in partnership with Heartstart Midlands.
This free community first aid and CPR training session will teach basic first aid and what to do if someone stops breathing – the difference between life and death. Pant Memorial Institute which runs the Memorial Hall for the benefit of the whole village, decided to offer this course with MedAid Services as a free community event as a way of increasing knowledge amongst villagers of what to do in a medical emergency.
