Both Andy and his wife Fay are trained Royal Life Saving Society open water lifeguards and qualified lifeguard trainers and assessors. A key part of the training they deliver is the correct way to deliver CPR and the use of a defibrillator. With a range of adult, child and baby mannikins and trainee defibrillators Fay and Andy will talk your audience through checking for vital signs, when to start CPR and just as importantly, when to stop CPR. The session covers a whole range of scenarios and delivers the current guidelines as prescribed by the RLSS. This is a very practical session with attendees invited to try out the various methods that are used for CPR on the manikins and use the defibrillators as if in real life.

These skills really could save someone’s life.

About Andrew Tennet

I was a police officer in Northamptonshire for 30 years, rising from the rank of Police Constable to Detective Chief Inspector and was an accredited Senior Investigating Officer, licensed by the Home Office to investigate the most serious of offences.

During my five or more years as part of the Homicide and Major Crime Team these skills were in constant use. Later, as the deputy head of the the Professional Standards department (the real life 'Line of Duty'), I was able to use these skills again.

I am a keen cyclist and open water swimmer as well as a qualified Open Water Lifeguard.

I have been delivering my presentations for many years or more to a wide range of groups such as the WI, Rotary Clubs, local history societies, Probus and many other social groups. I get many repeat bookings from groups which suggests that they enjoy my talks.

All of my talks are delivered by way of Powerpoint and I have all of my own equipment to do so. Many of the talks are supported by documents and photographs for your audience to examine.
