About Save A Life for Scotland
Every year over 3,200 people around Scotland are treated by the Ambulance Service after having a cardiac arrest.
Unfortunately only around 1 in 10 people will survive. Starting CPR saves lives… so let’s be ready. We’re asking you to say ‘I’ll do it’ and be one of 1,000,000 people in Scotland getting CPR ready.
We’re asking this as part of Scotland’s strategy for out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) which aims to increase survival by 50% over the next 5 years. To achieve this, bystander CPR is critical and so we aim to equip a total of 1,000,000 people with CPR skills by 2026. Increasing the incidence of bystander CPR is the cornerstone of improving outcomes because prompt bystander CPR can increase the likelihood of survival after OHCA by 2 or 3 times.
Save a Life for Scotland is a partnership including Scottish Ambulance Service, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, Police Scotland, St. Andrew's First Aid, British Heart Foundation, British Red Cross, The Scottish Government, The University of Edinburgh, Royal Life Saving Society UK, Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland, Lucky 2 B Here, St. John Scotland, East Neuk First Responders, and Field Hospital 205.
