Listen: life-saving CPR training

Every second counts during the ultimate medical emergency, yet many bystanders feel unprepared to act.

Approximately 40,000 people in the UK suffer a sudden cardiac arrest outside of hospital every year, with survival rates of less than one in 10. 

New research has found that nearly two thirds (62%) of Brits would like to know how to perform CPR, highlighting how the need for accessible, life-saving education has never been more urgent.

To give more people the confidence to act in those critical moments, Resuscitation Council UK (RCUK) has announced the reopening of its highly popular Community Grant Scheme, following a resounding response during its first year.
