Today is World Stroke Day.

A stroke can happen to anyone. Recognising the signs and acting quickly could save a life.

Act F.A.S.T.:

• Face – Can the person smile? Has their mouth or eye drooped?
• Arms – Can they raise both arms?
• Speech – Is their speech slurred or difficult to understand?
• Time – Call 112 or 999 immediately if you notice any one of these signs.

A stroke can destroy up to two million brain cells every minute. The faster you act, the more of the person you can save.

The Irish Heart Foundation is here to support stroke survivors and their families.

More information on our stroke supports can be found in the comments.

❤️ 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.
