People from lower socio-economic backgrounds are less likely to receive bystander CPR, access a defib, or survive a cardiac arrest. At RCUK, we’re working to change this, because everyone deserves an equal chance of survival, no matter where they live or their background.

Yesterday we delivered Sims for year 3 student Nurses and Student Midwifes, scenarios included managing pain, major bleeding and sepsis. Followed by a crash trolley game. Well done Susan and the team for organising, and well done to the students. QE Gateshead Medical Education NEsimulation

Whilst attending training on how to use a defib can increase your confidence, it’s not a requirement for you to be able to use one in an emergency. Defibs are designed with easy to follow voice prompts so they can be used by anyone.

King Charles refreshed his CPR skills at The RCN in London yesterday, reminding us that everyone can learn how to save a life, no matter who you are!    bbc.co.uk/news/videos/cg…
