Robert an actor who was hired to take part in a nationwide NHS campaign says it saved his life when he realised he was having a heart attack while playing golf.
Robert McCafferty, 59, from near Shefford, Bedfordshire, England, said he began to feel his chest tighten, like indigestion or Heartburn, on the 12th hole at Chesfield Down Golf Club on 15 February this year (2025). He said he experienced the "same subtle symptoms" he had been told to act out, so knew instinctively to get help.
Originally from Glasgow, Robert filmed the advert about three years ago, a cardio surgeon advised him on his performance, to make him fully aware that "some of the symptoms are subtle".
