Heart Health Month

05/02/2024

This #HeartHealthMonth, we're passionate about supporting The British Heart Foundation's "Going Red" campaign, contributing to vital lifesaving research and giving more hearts a chance 

The heart is a complex, vital organ beating around 100,000 times each day. It's essential to be aware of CPR steps, empowering everyone to act in case of an emergency 

If you witness a cardiac arrest, call 999 immediately and start CPR. You'll be given instructions while you wait for help. Here’s a quick 5 step guide on what to do:

1️⃣ Check for a response. Firmly shake the person’s shoulders and loudly ask if they’re okay.

2️⃣ Call 999. If the person is unconscious and not breathing, or not breathing normally, start CPR.

3️⃣ If there is someone with you, ask them to find a defibrillator.

4️⃣ Start chest compressions. With the heel of your hand in the centre of their chest, press down smoothly and firmly at a rate of 2 per second. Try pushing to the beat of Stayin’ Alive by the Bee Gees.

5️⃣ Use a defibrillator as soon as you can. Follow its instructions carefully while you continue to give CPR.

If you or your loved one are dealing with heart-related conditions, our expert care services are here to support you. From understanding the signs to providing compassionate care, we ensure your heart health is a top priority
