Resuscitation Council UK Learning Portal
Welcome to Resuscitation Council UK.
80% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in the home. That’s why it’s never been more important to teach everyone how to do CPR and use a defibrillator. We’re working towards a day when everyone has the skills to save a life. To do this, we need your help.
Play your part by engaging with our fantastic cost-effective courses which teach life-saving skills and support you to teach others too!
