Chain of Survival
The chain of survival refers to a series of actions that, when put into motion, reduce the mortality associated with cardiac arrest.
Like any chain, the chain of survival is only as strong as its weakest link.

Stroke Recognition
F.A.S.T. stands for:
F – Face – has their face fallen on one side? Can they smile?
A – Arms – Can they raise both arms and keep them there?
S – Speech – is their speech slurred?
T –Time to call 999 if you spot any single one of these signs.
The F.A.S.T. acronym was created as a simple way for people to remember the main warning signs of stroke so that they can act immediately in the case of a stroke by dialling 999.
