6-Step Process - Actions that need to be taken should you find someone unconscious:

1. Shake the person gently and shout for help.

2. Call 999.

3. Don't put your face close to theirs. If you think there's risk of infection, use a towel or a piece of clothing and lay it over their mouth and nose.

4. Give chest compressions only - do not give rescue breaths.

5. Continue until an ambulance arrives.

6. After the ambulance crew have taken over wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand gel.
