Thousands of babies are born outside hospital each year. For clinicians, newborn resuscitation in these settings is rare but critical. Our Out‑of‑Hospital Newborn Life Support course will help you build confidence to deliver the best care when it matters most: resus.org.uk/oh-nls

This image is an infographic titled "OH-NLS" at the top. It includes five icons with accompanying text: a fetus labeled "Resuscitation at birth," a brain with a light bulb and gears labeled "T-F and non-technical skills," lungs labeled "Airway management," a syringe labeled "Chest compressions, drugs, IO access," and a baby with a cross labeled "Simulation practice." The website www.resus.org.uk/oh-nls is at the bottom.

Sadly, research shows that people living in lower socio-economic areas are less likely to have access to a defibrillator. So it’s vital that when there are defibs in these areas they're rescue-ready and registered on The Circuit.

Nearly one third of the most deprived communities in the UK still have no defibrillator registered on The Circuit. Red background with white text and an ECG line at the bottom. Source: www.bhf.org.uk/defibdata.

A defibrillator could save a life, but it has to be working. We’ve developed a practical checklist to support Guardians in carrying out routine checks and ensuring their devices are fully operational and accessible. Download the checklist today: bit.ly/43qxw8U

A person is checking a defibrillator device. Text on the image reads, "Are you a defib Guardian? Take a moment to check it’s rescue-ready."

Cardiac arrests don’t just happen in hospitals. Our new Out‑of‑Hospital Advanced Life Support (OH‑ALS) course has been developed to help prepare clinicians to manage cardiac arrest in pre‑hospital settings. Our Clinical Lead, Naomi, explains more.

Yesterday, we delivered a Basic Life Support training session for the Senior Leadership Team at Bauer Media Outdoor. It was excellent to see such strong engagement and commitment to building lifesaving capability across the organisation!

Quick access to a defibrillator can be lifesaving in a cardiac arrest. Yet nearly half of people don’t know where the nearest AED is at their local sports venue. Help your sports club prepare for a cardiac arrest by making sure members are aware of where the nearest defib is located.

The image shows a statistic saying "46% of people do not know where the nearest defibrillator (AED) is located at their local sports venue." There is an illustration of an AED. The research is conducted by Opinion Matters from a sample of 2,000 UK adults.
