February is #HeartMonth ❤️ Knowing CPR and how to use a defibrillator can help save a life, and having the confidence to act quickly during a cardiac arrest can make all the difference. Make sure you’re prepared by exploring our free public resources: resus.org.uk/public-resource

Has it been more than 12 months since you learnt CPR? It’s time for a refresher. Revisiting your lifesaving skills every year ensures that your knowledge is up to date and you’re confident to step up when every second counts. Refresh your CPR at resus.org.uk/public-resource…

Don't wait until it's too late to learn CPR. It only takes one hour, but that hour could help you save someone's life one day. 👉 Swipe for four powerful reasons to learn CPR. Ready to feel CPR confident? Visit lifesaver.org.uk to start learning!

Emergency services take time to arrive. For every minute someone in cardiac arrest doesn't receive CPR, their chance of survival drops by 10%. Performing CPR before emergency services arrive could be the difference between life and death.
