Put Defibrillator awareness on a TV advert.

What the petition asks

It would be great to spread the awareness of how a Defibrillator is used and how it works. A lot of people are not aware that anyone can use a Defibrillator and that they don’t need to be first aid trained to use one.
What a better way in telling the nation how AED’s work than showing them on TV.
As a first aid trainer, I understand people don’t understand what a defibrillator is and how it works.
In the past, there has been an advert created for CPR with Vinnie Jones, with staying alive song. This was a huge hit to get awareness of getting people how it important It is to do something and how to perform cpr correctly.
Running first aid courses, 80% of learners have no idea how an AED works.
