The NHS has initiated a campaign to educate the public about the common signs of a heart attack that are often overlooked by those experiencing them. With the aim of encouraging people to dial 999, the campaign seeks to address the rising number of admissions for heart attacks, which have returned to pre-pandemic levels.

The campaign comes in response to data indicating that a significant number of people fail to recognize the symptoms of a heart attack, potentially delaying crucial medical intervention. NHS figures reveal that between 2021 and 2022, there were over 84,000 hospital heart attack admissions in England, marking an increase of over 7,000 compared to the previous year, when fewer individuals sought medical care due to the pandemic.
