The Honiton Carers Support Group have been learning how to operate a defibrillator and give CPR in the event of an emergency.
Joe Rice led the First Aid session at the Methodist Church on Wednesday October 12 which was arranged by Devon Carers.
Organiser of Honiton Carers, Winnie Cameron said: "The carers who wanted to be, were all hands on and most were surprised at how hard it actually is to sustain CPR at the required strength.
"We also realised how important it is to have annual First Aid updates as you actually forget a lot, as most of us thankfully never need to practice what we learn in real life."
