People in Surrey are being urged to learn CPR as part of a campaign tackling the gender gap in life-saving treatment.

South East Coast Ambulance Service says women are less likely than men to receive CPR from someone nearby.

Its “Bra Off, Pads On” campaign aims to tackle fears about touching a woman’s chest or removing clothing during an emergency.

The service will share stories of survivors throughout October, with a public CPR event taking place in Chatham in Kent on Friday.
