This year the Royal College of Emergency Medicine is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the inception of emergency medicine. To mark the occasion ELHT will be taking part in a world record attempt. We will be part of a country-wide effort to break the world record for the number of people being taught cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in two hours.
At 9:09am on Monday 9 October, medical staff from ELHT will demonstrate and teach CPR to as many members of staff and the public as possible. It’s a great opportunity to educate and inspire people about the work our A&E and emergency medicine staff do, as well as pass on an important life-skill.
Emergency Medicine is so important in East Lancashire and has made a real difference to the lives of millions. When an individual suffers an out-of-hospital heart attack, his survival depends greatly on receiving immediate CPR from a bystander. CPR is a life-saving technique that helps maintain some blood flow to the brain and heart, and can help "buy time" until paramedics arrive with more advanced care. We are hopefully that the world record attempt will raise more awareness of CPR and, and ultimately help save lives.
The attempt will take place in the main entrance of Burnley General Teaching Hospital on Monday 9 October at 9.09am. If you would like to take part in this world record breaking event please arrive at the main entrance (near WH Smiths) for 8:30am.
