Weds 16 October 2024 is Restart a Heart Day. A day where across the world organisations, emergency services and educational institutions come together to increase public awareness of cardiac arrests.
Did you know that according to the Resuscitation Council UK, 15% of cardiac arrests that occur outside of hospitals are at a workplace? This year, their focus is to get as many people as possible trained in CPR and defibrillation skills.
What is CPR?
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is a lifesaving first aid technique that is utilised in emergency situations where a casualty’s heartbeat or breathing has stopped.
How Can We Help?
By learning CPR and defibrillation skills and using them immediately in an emergency, you could double or even triple a casualty’s chances of surviving during a cardiac arrest.
