Hi everyone,
I just received this from the ABC news Email. It is reporting that the RedCross has organised that one can have CPR instructions on ones mobile phone. Worth a look.
"*Mobile phone CPR instructions 'could save lives'*
In what is being billed as a world first, instructions for life-saving CPR can now be downloaded to a mobile phone under a new initiative developed by the Red Cross.
People will be able to download animated instructions from a website onto their phone on how to revive someone in an emergency.
The technology was developed by a Tasmanian company.
Red Cross spokeswoman Virginia Leafe says the service is no substitute for first aid training, but works as a potentially life-saving prompt.
"You download it from the Red Cross website," she said.
"It will take a couple of minutes to download, and then you will have it on your phone and you press a button and with one button it starts and it goes through visually and speaking, how to do CPR.
"The idea is to download it before an emergency situation kicks in."
