CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), when done accurately in TV and film, can be emulated by the viewer and therefore potentially save lives.
This is why NAFA is pleased to present a practical skills workshop to ensure that actors, writers, and filmmakers can accurately portray CPR on screen.
And it’s a good life skill to have anyway!
