About Community Training Programme:
Since 2018 East Anglian Air ambulance has been delivering lifesaving Community CPR and Defibrillator training sessions to over 10,000+ children and adults, but we need to train more people to save more lives across East Anglia.
Every year approximately 12,000 people suffer a cardiac arrest in the East of England. Only about 40% of those who suffer a cardiac arrest receive any form of bystander CPR before the arrival of the ambulance service and less than 20% have a defibrillator deployed before emergency services arrive.
The cardiac arrest survival rate in the UK is only around 8%, but if a defibrillator is used alongside effective CPR within the first 3-5 minutes, the chances of survival can increase between 40% - 70%.
With significant funding in place and ambitious targets to train as many people as possible across East Anglia in Basic Lifesaving Skills we are looking for 3 new roles to take this important programme to the next level.

Paul and Jill Shattock
