Small actions can make a huge difference in a cardiac arrest ❤️

Something as simple as putting your phone on speaker when you call 999 gives you both hands free to check for breathing and start CPR without delay.

A new report from the Scottish Ambulance Service highlights activity and outcomes following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) across Scotland between April 2024 and March 2025.

Published on behalf of the Delivery Group for Save a Life for Scotland, the report shares national data, tracks progress, and helps identify where further improvements are needed to save more lives.

By openly sharing this information, partners across Scotland can better understand the challenges communities face and continue strengthening the Chain of Survival.

When someone has a cardiac arrest, every second counts. The quicker someone steps in to help, the greater their chance of surviving.

But only 35% of people say they would feel confident stepping in during an emergency like this.

That’s why building public confidence and increasing CPR knowledge is so important. The more people who feel prepared to help, the more lives we can save together.
