Education For The Future
Education is an important part of the work we do at Great Western Air Ambulance Charity. There are several ways we educate and raise awareness within and beyond the communities we serve as we strive to improve patient outcomes.
Discover how we can help each other make our communities safer:
Schools
Secondary
Our Great Western Hearts CPR project is a training initiative which teaches secondary-aged students how to confidently administer CPR and use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). These interactive sessions are delivered by a range of volunteers from the healthcare professions who are basic life support trained.
Fundraising
Fundraising teaches students valuable skills, giving them the opportunity to think as a group and work for the benefit of others. If you would like to fundraise for us then please get in touch with our Supporter Engagement Team, who will support you every step of the way.
Community Groups
Learn CPR
Would you know what to do in the event of a cardiac arrest? Book onto one of our CPR and defibrillator training sessions held at our airbase.
Research
GWAAC doesn't just aim to help the people of our region. We also aim to impact nationally and influence globally.
By participating in, and leading research, we help advance global understanding of the best techniques and approaches in treating seriously injured and sick people. This helps our clinical colleagues and others around the world get better at what they do. And it means that what we do from our base in Almondsbury, can have a real impact on patient care worldwide.
