Funnily enough, some London schoolkids at least DO get taught how to call an ambulance, and that teaching almost certainly saved my friend's life when we were both 13. Anna had what I now know was an anaphylactic reaction to a bee sting when we were alone in her house. God bless that cantankerous Citizenship 'tutor' from - I guess - the ambulance service because I actually knew what to do. We must have been in one of the pilots or something for the scheme cause I think the Citizenship training I got was in Year Six - 1994 or 1995, I reckon. Worth doing for everyone, definately.
