The British Heart Foundation, which commissioned the survey, says doing their online 15 minute course to learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) “could be the greatest gift you give to someone you love”.

Our Heart Month survey found that people’s fear of hurting someone could prevent them from giving CPR, which could be the difference between life and death.
