New Restart a Heart Website Launches

Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust (YAS) has launched a new website to promote its Restart a Heart Day campaign which provides life-saving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training to schoolchildren every year.

Improvements have been made to the layout, content and accessibility on all devices, including mobile phones and tablets. You can see the new website at www.restartaheart.yas.nhs.uk

The new website is launched as YAS announces that a record-breaking 171 of Yorkshire’s secondary schools – around 40,000 students - have signed up for a free life-saving lesson on Restart a Heart Day - Wednesday 16 October 2019!

Jason Carlyon, Community Resuscitation Manager for Yorkshire Ambulance Service, said: “We have taught life-saving skills to an incredible 105,000 youngsters at 72% of Yorkshire’s secondary schools in the last five years on Restart a Heart Day.

“We are overwhelmed with the response to this year’s campaign which continues to go from strength to strength, enabling us to continue providing new generations of potential life-savers and improve survival rates for cardiac arrest patients.”

Currently in the UK, less than one in ten (8.6%) people survive a cardiac arrest. If we achieved the same survival rates of countries like Norway (25%), where CPR is taught in schools, an additional 100 lives could be saved each week - the equivalent of approximately 5,000 every year.

Sponsored by the Yorkshire Ambulance Service Charity, the event is delivered in partnership with the Resuscitation Council (UK) and British Heart Foundation (BHF). The equipment required will be provided free of charge by the BHF and there will be certificates of completion for all participating pupils.
