UK campaign to raise awareness of heart attack symptoms
"A county-wide campaign will be re-launched on Monday to raise awareness of the symptoms of heart attacks among the public. The Heart Improvement Team, which are part of the Sussex Heart Network, together with the British Heart Foundation and the South East Coast Ambulance Service, aim to educate members of the public on the signs and symptoms of a heart attack, something that affects thousands of people across Sussex. Andy Newton, consultant paramedic with the South East Coast Ambulance Service, said: 'As ambulance clinicians we do everything we can to ensure patients receive the treatment they need as quickly as possible.' Posters and leaflets detailing the symptoms of a heart attack will be available in doctors' surgeries, hospitals, schools, supermarkets and a range of other public areas throughout Sussex from Monday" - Sussex Express
