Science and maths are routinely taught in schools, but what about CPR? We asked parents in the RCUK office why it matters to them that their child learns CPR in the classroom. If it matters to you too, sign our petition: action.resus.org.uk/cpr-in-schools

There are countless benefits to continuity of care: it improves patient outcomes, lowers GP workload, and reduces rates of hospitalisation. Thanks to Willie Rennie for raising the importance of continuity of care in response to our report on the #ValueOfGPs.
