Our Crew member tasked with drafting this week’s blog was absent when it was due to be posted, so I have taken over. Building on our recent CPR course, Crew 7DP have completed further training endorsed by the British Heart Foundation, including another practical “hands on” session on placing casualties in the Recovery Position. 
We learnt the acronym D.R.A.B., and so in this photo our Crew are checking for Danger to themselves and others when approaching a casualty, looking for a Response before opening the Airway and then checking for Breathing.
We are delighted to report that following this training, part of the BHF’s Restart-a-Heart campaign, our Crew have all received a certificate and wrist band and would know what to do (should they choose to intervene) in the event of a medical emergency. For more info:
