BARTS CITY LIFE SAVER CHAIRMAN’S REPORT For the Year Ended 30th June 2024 __________________________________________________________________________________ Following the recovery of full training courses after the COVID-19 emergency we have been able to provide high quality courses throughout the year. Thanks to our excellent volunteers and trainers, most of whom are students or young doctors at Queen Mary University of London and Barts Health, Bart’s City Life Saver continued to deliver basic life support and defibrillator training. We train groups of members of the public (including many doctors and other caring professionals for whom training is essential). All the medical students and physician’s associates training within the faculty of Medicine at Queen Mary University of London are trained by our trainers (formally known as Bart’s and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry but re-branded by Queen Mary University of London in the 900th anniversary of Barts). Whilst welcoming the current stable financial and training positions of Barts City Lifesaver, the trustees continue to explore ways of further diversifying our training offering and the range of individuals, businesses, and organisations that we serve. Research in resuscitation is of interest to us and with access to clinical trials methodology and support at Queen Mary and Barts Clinical Trials Unit, we are exploring our capacity to develop ownaccount studies to advance the practice and efficacy of resuscitation training. We continue our strong links with Queen Mary University of London, and support with training space in the William Harvey Clinical Research Centre, William Harvey Heart Centre at Charterhouse Square campus of Queen Mary and the personal support of Professor Sir Mark Caulfield, Vice Principal for Health at Queen Mary University of London, President of the British Pharmacological Society and Director of the NIHR Barts Biomedical Research Centre, for which we are grateful. As always, we thank all our team for their continuing efforts on behalf of the charity and The JP Jacobs Charitable Trust for their generous grant.
