Give all Cardiac Arrest Survivors access to a personalised rehabilitation plan.
Unlike rehabilitation services for a Stroke or Heart Attack, there is no formal care pathway for Cardiac Arrest Survivors across the UK. Everyone affected by involvement in a Cardiac Arrest, and the provision of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, must have access to ongoing, personalised support.
While there are recognised guidelines for patient and family follow up post cardiac arrest, there is enormous variability in their application across many areas of the UK.
A programme of rehabilitation, targeted to the individual’s needs, improves quality of life, is cost-effective, and may reduce hospital readmissions.
Currently, there is no minimum level of follow up applied equally across the UK, meaning that many patients are missing out on vital services helping them to a full recovery.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about patient care, including aftercare for victims of cardiac arrest, are a matter for the NHS and individual clinicians, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to review aftercare provided by the NHS for victims of cardiac arrest, if that's something you'd like to happen.
