This project aims to increase access to Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training and the ability to use Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) in communities to enable people to feel more confident in delivering these skills if needed.
NHS England and NHS Improvement is partnering with St John Ambulance to deliver a programme encouraging everyone to learn CPR and how to use defibrillators.
St John Ambulance will develop a national network of Community Advocates to champion the importance of first aid, complimented by a country wide database of defibrillators (The Circuit), which will help save up to 4,000 lives each year by 2028.

At least 300 volunteers from across England will be supported to get out into the community and teach lifesaving skills.
