About this event

Restart a Heart Day takes place on and around 16 October each year.

The Resuscitation Council UK along with the British Heart Foundation, British Red Cross, St John Ambulance, the Association of Ambulance Chief Executives, NHS England, Save a Life for Scotland, Save a Life Cymru, and Northern Ireland Ambulance work together to help raise awareness of cardiac arrest and teach CPR.

In 2018, an amazing 291,000 people were trained in CPR through Restart a Heart Day. 2022 was even more exciting thanks to the introduction of RevivR, our new CPR training tool.
