Restart the Heart Day
Restart a Heart Day raises awareness about cardiac arrest and helps people to learn CPR, giving them lifesaving skills and the confidence to use them.
Last year, we taught people about the importance of defibrillators during a cardiac arrest, how to use them, and the importance of them being registered on The Circuit. This year’s focus is to get as many people as possible trained in CPR and defibrillation skills through our free online training tool, RevivR.
