Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, at any time. It can happen to elite footballers, such as Danish international Christian Eriksen, and it can also happen to someone having a weekly kick-about in the gym. No matter who they happen to, and which type of pitch they happen to be on, there’s one thing that’s certain – quick CPR and defibrillation can be the difference between life and death.    

A page for public resources, including how to do CPR, how to use a defibrillator, what the ReSPECT process is, DNACPR decisions, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation decision making, case studies, sharing your story and Lifesaver - the interactive game in a film which teaches users what to do in an emergency and how to save a life.
