❤️ Today is Restart a Heart Day!

Every minute matters when someone experiences an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Starting CPR quickly can help keep blood flowing until emergency services arrive and improve a person’s chance of survival dramatically.

There’s encouraging progress here in Ireland. According to the latest OHCAR Report, the rate of bystander CPR in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests increased from 60% in 2012 to 85% in 2025.

You don’t need to be a healthcare professional to save a life. Learning CPR and knowing how to use an AED could help you make a life-saving difference to someone in your community.
