TWeaK,

The Heimlich maneuver isn’t actually the go-to technique anymore, firm smacks on the back are generally more effective. You lean them forward, support their chest with one arm and give up to 5 sharp blows between their shoulder blades with the heel of your hand. If that doesn’t work, try the Heimlich, if that also doesn’t work call an ambulance.

Here’s the full NHS advice.
