‘First-of-its-kind’ life-saving scheme is launched by Cardiff University students

Posted date: 04 Apr 2022

A group of student doctors at Cardiff University has launched what they believe to be the first scheme of its kind in the world to teach life-saving skills to students.

Students Save Lives will be rolled out across the University, with the hope it could eventually be expanded to institutions across Wales.

Students from the Schools of Medicine and Healthcare Sciences have worked with the Welsh Government-backed Save a Life Cymru programme to bring about the scheme, which equips students with the basics of CPR.

Wales has one of the lowest out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates in Europe; just one in 20 survive, while in Norway and the Netherlands this figure is around one in four.
