Listen: Are you Resus Ready?

Resuscitation Council UK (RCUK) has launched a powerful new CPR awareness campaign ResusReady, to help save more lives from a cardiac arrest, particularly where inequalities in resuscitation exist.

There are more than 100,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests every year in the UK, yet bystander CPR is performed less often in deprived communities. Bystander CPR can double the chance of survival from an Out of hospital cardiac arrest.

The campaign is calling on businesses across the UK, who offer their staff CPR training, and CPR trained individuals, to pledge to being ResusReady.

Ros spoke to James Cant, CEO of Resuscitation Council UK (RCUK).
