Ian Jacob’s Fellowship
Congratulations to Aus-ROC’s Dr Janet Bray who has been awarded the inaugural Ian Jacobs Fellowship award by the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC). Professor Ian Jacobs served the ARC for 25 years and excelled in national and international resuscitation research, knowledge dissemination and collaboration and the award was established as a lasting tribute to his memory. Dr Bray will use the funding to continue with her project ‘Post-resuscitation care in Victoria: understanding current practice to improve outcomes for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients’.

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.
