Aus-ROC Investigators win Top NHF Vanguard Award
Yesterday Aus-ROC’s Janet Bray, Lahn Straney, Karen Smith and Judith Finn received the Heart Foundation’s The Ross Hohnen Award for Research Excellence for the most outstanding and innovative Vanguard Grant application in 2015. The funded project will collect data to understand regional variation in bystander CPR rates -which will inform the development of community-based CPR education programs.

Aus-ROC paper will enable regions to reduce OHCA risk and improve bystander response
We are pleased to see so much media interest in our latest paper: Identifying areas of Australia with high out-of-hospital cardiac arrest incidence and low bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation rates.
This research was funded by the Heart Foundation.
Grant success!
Aus-ROC investigators are delighted to have received funding from the Heart Foundation of Australia to use world-first statistical simulations to predict where changes to modifiable factors (e.g. increased rates of bystander CPT and AEDs) will lead to the greatest improvement in OHCA survival. Project outcomes will include a national implementation strategy, which will inform and direct future interventions as to what will have the greatest potential to increase survival in every Australian LGA.
