Life-saving training courses still have free places available.
As part of Restart a Heart Day today, Hertsmere Borough Council are reminding residents that there are still spaces left for the CPR awareness sessions.
The free events are being run by fire crews at the Borehamwood and Elstree Fire Station in Elstree Way, and the Hertsmere Community Safety Partnership have provided new resuscitation dummies for training.
At the events, attendees will learn how to perform CPR and how to use a defibrillator, but they are not training sessions and this does not work towards a qualification.
If you have a heart attack outside of hospital in the UK you have less than a one in ten chance of surviving, but in countries like Norway where these skills are more widely taught survival is four times more likely.
There are still places available on the courses on Tuesday, November 21 at 2pm and Monday, December 18 at 6.30pm, and each session will last between one and two hours.
