People in Guernsey are having the chance to learn how to do CPR as part of Restart a Heart Day.

St John Ambulance and the Cardiac Action Group are joining forces to hold demonstrations in Market Square in St Peter Port from 11.45am (Wednesday 16 October).

They will also be showing people how to use a defibrillator in the event that they need to save someone's life.

Restart A Heart Day is a worldwide event that takes place every year to increase public awareness of cardiac arrests as well as increasing the number of people trained in CPR.

Islanders in Guernsey also have the chance to take part in free one hour sessions at community centres across Guernsey.
