Your Views on Public First Aid for Cardiac Arrest in Ireland – Support & Aftercare for First Responders. 

Croí Heart & Stroke Charity and the National Ambulance Service invite you to participate in the Heartsafe survey. Please share this public and anonymous survey with your general community and healthcare networks as well as community first responder networks. By learning from practical experiences in Ireland, the aim is to design a future first responder aftercare framework that best meets the needs of communities in Ireland.

HEARTSAFE 2.0

HEARTSAFE 2.0 brings together an international consortium to improve survival rates from Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA). By combining trained volunteers, better AED coverage, digital innovation and structured support after resuscitation, we aim to create faster, more coordinated and more resilient emergency response systems that improve survival rates. Heartsafe partner countries include Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.

HEARTSAFE 2.0 is funded under Interreg North-West Europe (NWE) with specific objective of ensuring equal access to health care and fostering resilience of health systems.

Croí Heart and Stroke Charity is the lead partner for HEARTSAFE Ireland, drawing on its extensive experience in community health, cardiovascular prevention, and public engagement. Croí will coordinate all Irish pilot activities in HS2.0 working closely with our Irish Associate Partners in the National Ambulance Service (NAS) and Local Authorities in Galway City Council and Sligo County Council. 

Together, we are building HEARTSAFE communities where more lives can be saved.
