Community resuscitation development officers (CRDO)

CRDOs plan a community resuscitation service incorporating Chest Pain, Community Defibrillation and teaching CPR in the community and schools. 

They set out to empower, educate, train and support local communities in heart health initiatives.

To date we have supported posts in Scotland, Northern Ireland, the East of England and the East Midlands.
