New figures show women are less likely than men to receive bystander CPR as many "feel unsure about touching a woman's chest", an ambulance service has revealed.

In the data released ahead of International Women's Day on 8 March, Thames Valley Air Ambulance reveals one in three women who suffer a cardiac arrest receive no CPR before emergency crews arrive.

Appreciation post: Kate from
Has supported us from the beginning of and we think she's awesome! ♥️

Here's what she had to say:
I started working at Kall Kwik printing in Ashford in 1998, and took over the business in 2021. It was a big step, but it’s been an incredible journey of growth, learning, and resilience. Being a woman in business has taught me the power of determination, creativity, and community.

Customer service is at the heart of everything we do at Kall Kwik, and helping brings customers ideas to life whilst building relationships brings us great joy.

This International Women’s Day, I’m proud to celebrate the journey so far and all the amazing women building, leading, and supporting each other every day around Ashford and beyond!

They really are the backbone of everything! Whether it’s a biological mum, a grandmother, an aunt, or a mentor or friend who stepped into that role, that kind of unconditional support is invaluable.
The "role" of a mother, it's about who shows up, listens, and offers that specific kind of nurturing guidance.

Happy mother's day!
And if this is a hard day for you, know we are with you and you are loved.
