This Restart a Heart Day, could you help save a life?

Hear from one of our Volunteer Community First Responders as they show you how to start CPR when someone suffers a cardiac arrest.

In this video, we stop to attach a defibrillator. If you don't have access to a defib, just keep going with CPR.

📞 Always call 999 and follow the instructions of the call handler, who will guide you through what to do

Remember: doing something is always better than doing nothing.

As part of , we're celebrating the colleagues whose experiences, perspectives and contributions help make our hospitals stronger.

Throughout the month, we'll be hearing from colleagues across Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust and Isle of Wight NHS Trust as they share their stories and reflections.

Today, we're featuring Jenni Douglas-Todd, Group Chair, who reflects on her Caribbean heritage and why Black History Month remains an important opportunity to learn, reflect and celebrate the contributions of Black people, past and present.

Jenni said: “I would like to start by recognising and honouring all our staff from the global majority who have chosen to leave their homelands and come and give service to our patients and communities in our hospitals on the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth.

“As a black person of Caribbean heritage who was born and brought up in the UK, I have loved delving into my heritage and understanding its context for today. Black History Month allows us to celebrate the contributions of black people, past and present.”

In a message to teams, Ian Scrase, Group Lead AHP, said, "Thank you for your professionalism, compassion, expertise and leadership, and for everything you do to improve lives and deliver exceptional care for our patients, families and communities."

🌟 Meet Oscar, a 10-year-old Islander whose quick thinking helped save his mum's life 🌟

When his mum Carmela suddenly became unwell at home, Oscar recognised something was wrong and called 999. Staying calm, he spoke with emergency call handler Mia, followed instructions and made sure help was on the way.

Thanks to Oscar's bravery and the support of Isle of Wight Ambulance Service, Carmela received the urgent care she needed.

Oscar and his mum are now encouraging parents to talk to their children about what to do in an emergency and how to call 999 if help is needed.

“As a single parent, I taught Oscar how to call for help if needed, but you never really know how a child will react in a real emergency,” said Carmela. “Even though he must have been frightened, he stayed calm and got me the help I needed.”

Do your children know what to do in an emergency?
