Delivering training in life saving skills

Cardiff University

A medical student who has helped train over 2,800 members of the public and students in lifesaving CPR techniques, graduates from Cardiff University this week.

Starting in 2020, during the pandemic lockdowns, Elliot Phillips joined forces with other medical students to write an open letter, expressing their concerns that Wales was being left behind in CPR training.

The students, led by Elliot, launched what they believe to be the first scheme of its kind in the world to teach life-saving skills to students. The Students Save Lives scheme was rolled out across the University, as well as hosting sessions with members of the public across Wales.
