Glasgow Teen Wins Volunteer of the Year 2024 at the Scottish First Aid Awards

That the Parliament congratulates 18-year-old Sadiq Shaik, who volunteered more than 200 hours to a first aid charity and has even performed CPR on a member of the public who was suffering a cardiac arrest; notes that the Glasgow teenager is currently studying to become a doctor at the University of Glasgow and has now been crowned the Amy Allan Young Volunteer of the Year 2024 at the Scottish First Aid Awards ceremony; understands that one of Sadiq's most notable achievements came last year, during a challenging incident involving a complex cardiac arrest case when he was just 17; further understands that, despite the intense circumstances, Sadiq's quick thinking and expert knowledge allowed him to perform CPR, buying crucial time for the arrival of emergency services; considers that his actions ultimately resulted in the individual being able to spend additional precious time with their family and loved ones; recognises that Sadiq was honoured to win the award from St Andrew’s First Aid, and hopes that his story will help encourage others to learn lifesaving skills.
