We're on the road to boosting out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival - quite literally! From 2026, driving theory tests will include new CPR and defibrillator questions.

This will build on existing first aid content in the test and give drivers the confidence and knowledge to respond in emergencies, especially ones by the roadside or in service areas.

We think this is a fantastic move and a great way to increase the number of people with this life-saving awareness. To learn more about this change, click the link below, and share your thoughts on it in the comments.
