Today’s brief is a hugely important one for our community. I hope everyone will get involved in this one to spread the word and take the online course. The brief is particularly meaningful to me personally too as I suffered a heart attack aged 26 in 2015.

Sudden cardiac arrest is when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops pumping blood around the body and vital organs, due to an abnormal heart rhythm. As we saw during Euro 2020 with Christian Eriksen, it can happen to anyone, at any time.
60,000 people have a sudden cardiac arrest within the community every year in the UK.
12 each week are under the age of 35.
Only 1 in 10 survive.
If effective action is taken within the first minute, it can treble chances of survival. You can learn these life-saving steps in UK Coaching’s fully-funded online course.
We want to raise awareness of and encourage people to take this online course. Whilst the course can be taken by anyone, it’s particularly aimed at anyone involved in sport and physical activity – including coaches, personal trainers, club organisers, referees, volunteers, parents, participants and spectators.
More about the course
It’s been created in collaboration with Resuscitation Council UK, St John Ambulance and Joe Humphries Memorial Trust, and funded by Sport England. It’s packed with immersive and scenario-based learning, along with practical information and tips to help you respond quickly and appropriately to a sudden cardiac arrest.
