Cryonics UK Trainings

Next training: 9 and 10 of June 2012

Times will be: 11:00 – 17:00 Saturday, 10:00 – 16:00 Sunday.

Attendance is free of charge!

The meeting will be hosted at our HQ, whose address is:

7 Greenfield Drive
Greenhill
Sheffield
South Yorkshire
S8 7SL

The meeting will consist chiefly in hands-on training to provide the skills necessary to assist in a human cryopreservation (which task is CUK's reason for being).

If you are based in or near the UK, and either have made arrangements to by cryopreserved or are just interested, then this weekend is for you!

Any journalists wishing to attend will benefit most from the last part of the training, when we practice all the trained separately activities in a simulated cryonics emergency scenario, which takes place on Sunday afternoon.

If you would kindly let me know if you'd like to attend, that would help me greatly in terms of logistics! My email address is ds@cryonics-uk.com — Many thanks.

Warm regards,

Eternally,

How to prepare for the training?

There is no need to do any preparation for the training in advance. Even with no prior experience, you will be able to pick up from others during the training the core skillsets needed. The training will also provide you with some of the most important theory behind what our organization does.

You may also download our Ambulance Guide and our Protocol. These are the two basic documents which will help you to get an idea of what will be presented at the training. By reviewing these documents in advance it will give you background material that the training sessions will build on.

You can also watch an online CPR video, or even better take an in-person CPR course. In an ideal situation, our team members will perform manual CPR as the first step in a cryonics hands-on assistance after legal death. While manual CPR is being performed, the other team members prepare a machine to take over the chest compressions (manual CPR is very physically demanding so can only be maintained for a couple of minutes at a sufficient quality, and we need the patient's chest compressed for an extended period of time).

Time and mileage saving tip:

• If traveling from the South up the M1, exit at J29 and head for Chesterfield. When you reach Chesterfield take the A61 to Sheffield. When you hit the Sheffield ring road, you will be at a roundabout with a cricket club on your left and an Audi dealership on your right. Take a left at the roundabout, then first right (Greenhill Avenue), first left (Greenfield Road) and first left again (Greenfield Drive). It's the first house on the left with tall boxy hedges.
• If coming up the A1 or down the M1, exit at J33 and take the A630 towards the city centre. Leave the A630 for the A6102 ring road and head towards Chesterfield. Look out for the Audi dealership on your left, go straight over at that roundabout, then first right (Greenhill Avenue), first left (Greenfield Road) and first left again (Greenfield Drive). It's the first house on the left with tall boxy hedges.
