A first step to improving outcomes after Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is to measure the performance of the local ‘Chain of Survival’. Ambulance services routinely report the number of OHCA where resuscitation is attempted, but lack access to outcome data such as survival to hospital discharge. Our novel data linkage project has been developed to inform the implementation of UK’s strategy for OHCA and provide insight into both short- and long-term patient outcomes. https://emj.bmj.com/content/36/1/e9.2 This is an Open Access article distributed in accordance with the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial (CC BY-NC 4.0) license, which permits others to distribute, remix, adapt, build upon this work non-commercially, and license their derivative works on different terms, provided the original work is properly cited and the use is non-commercial. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/emermed-2019-999.23ae974a485f413a2113503eed53cd6c53
