Royal Mail uses lockers to help raise awareness of CPR training

Royal Mail launch of a new bank of parcel lockers featuring the BHF Qr code to learn CPR.

In partnership with the British Heart Foundation (BHF), Royal Mail is using its parcel locker network to help raise awareness of CPR training through a QR code and the message ‘scan to learn CPR in 15 minutes’.

Users scan the QR code to be taken to the RevivR home page, the BHF’s free online course which teaches people how to perform CPR. The first CPR awareness parcel locker is now live in East Ham, London, and hundreds more will be rolled out this year.

According to BHF, there are over 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests every year in the UK but tragically less than one in 10 people survive. Every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces the chance of survival by up to 10%. Giving CPR promptly and using a defibrillator can more than double someone’s chance of survival, the BHF says.

Estelle Stephenson, head of health partnerships and community resuscitation at BHF said, “RevivR is a really easy way to learn a lifesaving skill – all you need is your mobile phone and a firm cushion. In just 15 minutes you learn how to recognize a cardiac arrest, with personalized feedback to build confidence in CPR and using a defibrillator.

“CPR saves lives and it’s fantastic to see our brilliant partners like Royal Mail are helping us make sure even more people have the skills they need to save a life. Far too many of us will witness a cardiac arrest in our lifetime, and it could happen to someone you love. Take the few minutes to learn or brush up your skills. It could help you save a life.”

The new initiative to spread the lifesaving education is part of Royal Mail’s wider partnership with BHF, which focusses on both fundraising and CPR training. More than £1m (US$1.3m) has already been raised by Royal Mail employees, funding hundreds of defibrillators in community locations.

Greg Sage, director corporate affairs and ESG at Royal Mail, commented, “Our parcel lockers are making it easier for our customers to send their parcels, and now they are helping to deliver something even more valuable – life-saving knowledge. By working with the British Heart Foundation to bring quick, accessible training to communities across the UK, we hope to make a real difference.”

In related news, Royal Mail is continuing the expansion of its sustainable delivery fleet in the UK by trialling its first ever electric truck, in partnership with electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Magtec. Click here to read the full story.
