Vinnie Jones’ CPR technique

While we love Hollywood hard man and former footballer Vinnie Jones doing CPR to the soundtrack of the Bee Gees’ ‘Stayin’ Alive’ in the BHF’s new ad campaign aimed at encouraging people to ‘have a go’, we must stress that this advice is purely to raise awareness and has no bearing on First Aid at Work. Although the media campaign is supported by the United Kingdom Resuscitation Council, the correct method of CPR includes ventilations and chest compressions. Trained individuals should continue to follow the guidance received during training they receive on recognised courses such as the ones we offer. But you have to ‘hand’ it to Vinnie, anyone who can make CPR a talking point is ok in our book!
