Learn CPR #RestartAHeart

What is Restart A Heart?

Restart A Heart is an annual initiative led by the Resuscitation Council UK. Held throughout October, it aims to raise awareness around cardiac arrest and increase the numbers of people who are CPR trained and defibrillator ready.

Why is it Important?

Every Year approximately 60,000 people suffer an out of hospital cardiac arrest. Bystander intervention rates are at about 50% and further data tells us that a public access defibrillator was only accessed in 1 out of 10 cardiac arrests. Survival rates for out of hospital cardiac arrests are low. By training more people - more lives could potentially be saved.

How are Anglia CPR Supporting the event in 2024?

Anglia CPR are committed to helping more people become trained in essential life saving skills.
