It is a life saving opportunity for the sporting community in Northern Ireland. It is truly wonderful to see how sport can be harnessed as a tool through which to educate people on important issues such as CPR and defibrillator use.

“at the Heart of the Game” is a life saving opportunity for anyone of any age. Anna educated our family on important issues such as CPR and defibrillator use and adapted the content to make it suitable for young children. Raising awareness is so important for all ages.

It was a pleasure to have Anna join the Davy team to deliver CPR and AED sessions. There was a real buzz in the office afterward, with everyone sharing their learnings and educating those who couldn’t make it. The feedback has been overwhelming. We know that by investing in our people and teaching them life-saving skills, they will be better equipped if ever faced with a medical emergency. Every business should be putting their people ‘at the Heart of the Game’.

Just wanted to share that your training came in useful this evening and has made a positive impact! I came across someone unconscious this evening in Belfast, and because of your training, I knew how to apply DRS ABC, get hold of a defibrillator and find out where to get one.
Caitriona Fitzpatrick - Trainee Solicitor
The training our staff received has been given high praise across the board. Anna’s ability to encourage people to learn how to effectively carry out CPR and use a defibrillator has had an incredible impact through raising awareness and educating people. We could not recommend the training enough.

Clarendon Executive were delighted to host "at the Heart of the Game" at Custom House, Belfast to receive training in CPR and the use of an AED in an emergency situation. Training was delivered by Anna Pim – an engaging and an excellent communicator, who delivered a very informative and educational 2 hr session supported by practical break out sessions. As a business based in Belfast City centre we have seen the demand for the use of defibrillators increase and now our team can feel confident should we ever need to deploy our learning! We would highly recommend any business to invest in developing skills and awareness in how to perform CPR and confidently use a defibrillator.

The Irish Hockey Umpires Association are very grateful to Anna for training a group of our active members in CPR and AED techniques. Umpires are present at every hockey match at every level up and down the country, so the more of our members who have the confidence to administer potentially life-saving care the better chance we have of making a difference if an emergency arises on the pitch. The highly practical element of the training is excellent. We had 100% positive feedback from those who attended so we would encourage everyone to take the opportunity to learn these vital skills.

Very informative and educational evening with Anna Pim teaching us how to react in the event of a cardiac arrest, doing CPR effectively and using an AED. We all feel better equipped to deal with this rare but serious situation. Would highly recommend an evening like this to any sports.

Anna Pim was really excellent, adapting and making the CPR & AED training happen during an early morning slot at the start of our Four Nations International Masters Tournament (Men’s 60-70+) weekend!
The trainee group’s feedback was hugely positive and Anna’s immediate responses to any scenario posed was impressive. Her key competencies and delivery left us with embedded training, we're not likely to forget!
Highly recommended, great work Anna.
