Last year we were able to save the lives of 251 cardiac arrest patients and with the help of community CPR initiatives like #RestartaHeart Day we hope to increase that figure. Find out how you can support this - ow.ly/35PV50Gounb

Less than 1 in 10 people in the UK survive a cardiac arrest but thousands more lives could be saved if witnesses start CPR immediately. YOU can make that difference by learning life-saving CPR. #RestartAHeart @YorksAmbulance – at Holme-on-Spalding-Moor, England

What kind of stubbornness does it take, 18 months into a pandemic, to look around the world and see examples of best practice, where mortality is minimal, economies least damaged and liberties least infringed - and then say: But obviously that’s not what WE’RE going to do!

Choosing the right AED is about choosing the right one for YOU. We don't sell AEDs so have no commercial interests or loyalties to any brand but we have gathered all of the vital statistics for most of the currently available AEDs ➡️realfirstaid.co.uk/defib-com…

Thoughts are with the family and friends of Paramedic Tony Chadbourne (Chad) of @EMASNHSTrust following his death with Covid-19. Stand down. #NHSfamily #999

The prolonged use of medical masks can be uncomfortable. However, it does not lead to CO2 intoxication nor oxygen deficiency. While wearing a medical mask, make sure it fits properly and that it is tight enough to allow you to breathe normally.
