People in deprived areas are:
- less likely to receive bystander CPR,
- less likely to access a defib,
- and less likely to survive cardiac arrest.
This isn’t chance, it’s inequality.
We’re committed to changing this, because where you live or what your background is should not determine your survival.

NEW STUDY: @arclightprojec1's Dr Andrew Blaikie & colleagues highlight how racially biased medical terminology can lead to misinterpretation of infant eye test results. They propose a shift from colour to anatomy-based language that better reflects the diverse global population.
'Decolonizing medical terminology is essential for ensuring accurate diagnoses'
'Racial bias' of routine infant eye test is leading to unnecessary referrals

@AmmaBirth share their recent report that adds to the evidence and points out that so much more needs to be done.
