Thought some of you maybe interested, the British Heart Foundation have released a new video advert campaign highlighting how to preform CPR. The new change is that they're not encouraging you to give the kiss of life (mouth to mouth) and instead the emphasis is to push harder and faster on the persons chest.
Watch Vinnie Jones demonstrate here!

Ribs will be broken!

That's a common misconception! Although ribs may be broken, if the pressure is placed correctly onto the sternum then technically the ribs shouldn't break.

Hey Josh great to see you. I have done first aid courses but never had to do it irl. I think more people may have a go with the new policy.

For what reason are they no longer advising Mouth-To-Mouth?
