Dr Sandesh Gulhane delivered emergency on the spot CPR after a man became unresponsive and had no pulse.

An MSP married to Strictly Star and TV doctor Punam Krishan jumped in to save a man's life after he collapsed at the Scottish Parliament last week.

Dr Gulhane previously worked with a resus unit as a junior doctor before he became an MSP in Glasgow. "My concern was for people on the team who hadn't experienced a situation like that before," he said. "There's plenty of places where you can learn basic CPR and it's free, like the British Heart Foundation, external or St John Ambulance, external," he said.
