Restart a Heart Day 16th October 2022

Restart a Heart Day raises awareness about cardiac arrest and helps people to learn CPR, giving them life saving skills and the confidence to use them.

Approximately 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen every year in the UK. Sadly, less than 1 in 10 people survive these cardiac arrests. Performing CPR can more than double the chances of survival in some cases.

Around 80% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in the home, this gives mums, dads, sons, daughters and friends the best chance of surviving.

At Bluebird Care we train all our staff in First Aid and Basic Life Support, including how to administer CPR and use a defibrillator. This ensures all our customers have the best chance of survival in the event of a cardiac arrest. See pictures of our recent annual refresher training or our existing staff.
