NHS England and NHS Improvement and St John Ambulance will co-ordinate cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills development to increase the use of automated external defibrillators by individuals in community settings. This will include a national network of community advocates to champion the importance of first aid, training 60,000 people which will help save up to 4,000 lives each year by 2028.
