With research by YouGov revealing that over 1/3 of adults in the UK still haven’t learned CPR, it’s important to know what to do. A cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere at any time. Visit Resus Council UK: bit.ly/3FHw9Wl #RestartaHeart #SaveALife

RCUK Vice President, Prof Andy Lockey is urging people to get hands on this #RestartAHeart. He says “we have seen this year in the Euros how important it is to swiftly do CPR and use a defibrillator – learn these simple skills so you can be a lifesaver as well”

Yesterday Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp suddenly collapsed. If they were people, we would CHECK, CALL and COMPRESS. Next 16th October is the #WRAH day, join us in increasing #CardiacArrest awareness ❤️ ⚠️ They are back now thanks to bystander interventions 🤲

Our faculty link @EPPiC_Chris published an article recently on the importance of bystander CPR, with a quick guide on what to do if you find yourself in this situation #bystandercpr #learning #youcandoit warwick.ac.uk/newsandevents/…
Congratulations to our faculty, alumni and current instructors for publishing their work on alternative CPR techniques in Resuscitation last month :) *Spoiler* The Hollywood pre-cordial thump is out! @ryeboy86 @Michael_T_Smith @EPPiC_Chris et al. #CPRworks resuscitationjournal.com/art…
An interview back in Spring with one of our faculty links @EPPiC_Chris. Mentions our @ERC_resus training of staff and students @warwickmed and @WarwickLifeSci, origin story @RMDBirmingham, and outreach event with @KHeartsafe on #RestartAHeartDay around this time last year 🫀
Why are defibrillators so important and how can we help in the event of an emergency? In Ignite magazine we hear from A&E doctor Chris Smith about his PhD looking at improving the use of public access defibrillators. bit.ly/IgniteEdition5

Another initiative we got involved in 'behind the scenes' back in October. If any other local resuscitation charities or societies need a hand with teaching in the new academic year, please message us. #CommunitySafety #CPR #Awareness
We did it! ❤️ Thanks to volunteers from Kenilworth Hearts all Year 7s (almost 300) in school today have been trained in CPR so, following on from last years successful Restart a Heart Day all students in school have these valuable life saving skills. life-saver.org.uk/
