-
the difference between a heart attack and a cardiac arrest

We welcome people of all ages to our training (whether you are 5 or 105) but please note that children and young people under the age of 16 will require a parent/carer present at all times. Our friendly, informative training sessions truly are accessible for all! Our trainers are fully certified to deliver basic life support skills sessions.
When you complete a booking, you will see the confirmation page. Please ensure you activate the 'add to Google calendar' option so you remember to attend! If you don't have an online diary, then please do make sure that you add the date and time to your paper calendar. Unfortunately, we have had a lot of no shows to our training recently, which is just incredibly unfair and disrespectful to our charity, our volunteers and others who miss out on spaces that are wasted when people don't attend and don't cancel.
You will receive booking confirmation via email - please check your 'spam/junk' folders for this as all details will be provided as well as our cancellation policy. You will also receive 2 further reminders of the training before your booked session which may also go in to your spam folder; please ensure you add us as a 'safe contact' so you don't miss these emails.
Group training
As well as providing individual training, for a donation to our defibrillator and bleed kit appeal, we also train in schools (staff and pupils), workplaces and organisations/clubs. If you are interested in group training, please get in touch today: clare@thepaulalanproject.org
Cancellations
We know that sometimes you may book on to a session, then not be able to attend. If this happens, please call 07754 796550 or email us: clare@thepaulalanproject.org at least 48 hours before you know you won't be able to attend so we can offer your space(s) to others and start our sessions on time.
Just because our training is free, it doesn't mean it isn't valuable; we are volunteers who take time away from our families to train people for free. Please respect our training and trainers by letting us know you will not be attending.
