I'm contemplating taking CPR courses. Does anyone know where I could do these in the city?

Fair play man, everyone should have some knowledge in this field.

Try the Order of Malta or Croí in the hospital maybe. I did mine with Croí.

they are usually done at night schools or within your company.
BTW do you mean CPR with mouth to mouth or the newer version of just using compressions?

The most recent course I did offered both techniques CPR (chest compression bit) was advised for untrained first aiders (as in, those who have first aid but are not paramedics or the likes) and AR (that's the breath bit) was taught, too.

Either way, tis great to have either. The American Heart Assoc say that compressions are just as effective on their own, so i guess it's a matter of phasing out old training and bringing in the new.

Good on you BABM, I think these courses should be mandatory in schools and the workplace.
