Charles Sturt University (CSU) paramedic students will teach cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at several CSU Community Heart Safe Events in Bathurst in May. First-year paramedic students from the CSU School of Biomedical Sciences supervised by lecturers will conduct the sessions, with the first event at the village of Perthville on Friday 16 May. Paramedic lecturer Mr Brian Haskins, said, "It is so important that as many people as possible know how to perform CPR, and we are delighted with the community interest in this program. The Perthville First Responders group has even purchased their own defibrillator (AED). I urge people to make the time to stop by one of these events to become familiar with the simple but lifesaving techniques. It doesn't take long to learn, or to possibly save a life. No previous skills or experience are necessary." The CSU Community Heart Safe Events are: 4pm to 5.30pm Friday 16 May at the Perthville Community Hall. CPR and AED (defibrillators) for Perthville First Responders. 10am to 3pm Saturday 17 May at the Family Fun Day at the Bicentennial Peace Park (at the children's playground, down by the river) William Street, Bathurst. 1pm to 3pm Monday 19 May at the Kelso Women's Group, Kelso. 4pm to 6pm Tuesday 20 May at the Bathurst District Prostate Cancer Support group.
