THE shocking collapse of footballer Christian Eriksen during Denmark's Euro 2020 clash with Finland at the weekend has shown the lifesaving importance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation - better known as CPR.

Thankfully Mr Erikson, 29, is now on the mend, but it was a close call.

So what can you do if you see someone collapse suddenly?

Thankfully, emergency defibrillators are available at a range of locations across Gwent.

They are clearly visible in prominent green cabinets, with green overhanging signs, and include simple instructions on how to use them.
