Restart a Heart Day 2025 is now over

Led by Resuscitation Council UK, Restart a Heart is an annual initiative which aims to increase the number of people surviving out-of-hospital cardiac arrests by helping more people learn CPR.

Anyone can be affected by a cardiac arrest at any time. Without immediate action, the person will die. Being confident to perform CPR will ensure that in the ultimate medical emergency, you can save a life at home, school, work, or in public.

80% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen at home. Would you know what to do? It only takes a short amount of time to brush up on your first aid knowledge, and it could save someone's life.
