What to do if someone is choking - first aid advice from St John Ambulance

Would you know what to do if you saw someone choking and struggling to breathe? According to St John Ambulance, one in three people in the UK don’t realise that failing to act in the first few minutes of a choking emergency could cost a life. That’s why the charity is aiming to teach 500,000 people life-saving first aid skills, giving more people the confidence to act quickly and potentially save a life during one of the most common everyday emergencies.
