A campaign to educate 1000 people in first aid kicks off this week.
Coordinated by St John Ambulance, the 'Save a Life 1000' scheme starts on Wednesday with a free session at Eurocars on Peel Road in Douglas.
The aim of the initiative is to equip people with basic first aid skills which could one day prove the difference between life and death.
Training manager Phil Bennett says just one training session can make all the difference:
