Today we’re highlighting the actions of the Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust Community Nursing team after they provided emergency medical attention to a member of the public. The team were attending a training session at a local rugby club when they were alerted that a man who was taking part in a walking football game, Roy, had suffered a cardiac arrest and was unresponsive. Acting swiftly, the team performed CPR and used a defibrillator, which was available on site, until an air ambulance arrived to take Roy to hospital. He was treated effectively and is now recovering at home. One of the nurses present, Karen, said: ‘This was a challenging situation as you might imagine, but both myself and colleagues put our training into practice, and I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say we’re very thankful it worked out well. ‘I’m so proud of everyone's collective efforts which enabled him to be treated and sent home.’ Knowing CPR can mean the difference between life and death, and learning how to perform CPR can be a life-saving skill.

It's truly inspiring to hear about the quick and effective response from the Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust Community Nursing team. Their dedication and training saved a life, and it's a powerful reminder of the difference we can make by learning life-saving skills like CPR. Thank you for sharing this incredible story.
Well done for saving a life, kids need to be taught how to use a defibrillator, as soon as possible at school, because there are likely to be circumstances where life saving is required, where there is large numbers of persons.
Well done one and all . This clearly shows the need for everyone to learn CPR and how to use a defibulator. As a trainer quiet happy to provide training in London and the south east .
