Research published in the European Heart Journal has highlighted that females are around 28% less likely than males to receive bystander CPR.
To address this, the UK Government has highlighted the value of using female manikins to improve confidence when providing CPR. That is why the Integrity QHSE training manikins represent different genders and ethnicities, helping develop skills across a broader range of scenarios.
This includes addressing gender-specific considerations that can be overlooked in traditional CPR training. Learners can practise aspects like appropriately moving breast tissue when positioning AED pads and becoming more comfortable with the realities of exposing the chest during an emergency, while maintaining dignity and professionalism.
Claire Davidson and her Integrity QHSE first aid training team are focused on making first aid more realistic, inclusive and effective, so that learners are better prepared to respond when every second counts.
