Restart a Heart 2024
Restart a Heart (RSAH) is an annual initiative led by Resuscitation Council UK which aims to increase the number of people surviving out-of hospital cardiac arrests.
It is run in partnership with The British Heart Foundation, British Red Cross, St John Ambulance, the Association of Ambulance Chief Executives, NHS England, Save a Life for Scotland, St Andrew’s First Aid, Save a Life Cymru, and Northern Ireland Ambulance Service.
In 2018, the initiative went global with the formation of World Restart a Heart (WRSAH).
