#RestartAHeart encourages people to Check-Call-Compress-Shock in the event of a cardiac arrest to save a life:

• Check: is the person responding or breathing normally?

• Call: emergency services on 112 or 999 and listen carefully to the instructions the ambulance call taker provides

• Compress: start pressing on the centre of the patient’s chest at a speed of 100-120 compressions per minute and at a depth of two inches or 5cms

• Shock: If someone is with you send them to get the nearest AED and get it on to the chest as quickly as possible
