Restart a Heart: 1,000 Shropshire students taught CPR
More than 1,000 students were taught a lifesaving skill by volunteers visiting their school.
Community first responders, ambulance and NHS staff came together to mark Restart a Heart Day by teaching children how to do CPR.
More than 1,000 pupils in years seven to 11at Idsall School in Shifnal took part in the training during a visit by volunteers.
The Restart A Heart Day campaign is organised by the British Heart Foundation and Resuscitation Council.
The initiative aims to raise awareness of the importance of CPR, highlighting that if a person suffers an out of hospital cardiac arrest in the UK, they have less than a one in 10 chance of surviving.
When someone suffers a cardiac arrest they are clinically dead because the heart has stopped.
It should not be confused with a heart attack, in which the victim can remain conscious as they fall unwell.
