💛 Do you know someone who has helped save a life? Nominate them for the Newton Award 2026.

The Newton Award recognises the incredible people behind every cardiac arrest survival, from family members and bystanders to call handlers, responders and emergency services.

It was created in honour of Gregor Newton, who survived a cardiac arrest thanks to quick-thinking loved ones and the actions of many others along the Chain of Survival.

Now, we want to hear about those who have made a difference in your community.

🏆 The award will be presented at the Scottish Cardiac Arrest Symposium 2026 on 21st May.

Because behind every life saved, there are people who deserve to be recognised. ❤️

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.

CPR moments stay with people. They can be intense, emotional, and hard to forget, whether you stepped in to give CPR or watched someone else do it. Those memories can linger for a long time, and it’s completely normal to feel that way.

Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland offers a free, confidential Advice Line where trained healthcare professionals are ready to listen, support you, and help you make sense of what happened. You don’t have to work through those feelings on your own.
