If you're a healthcare professional, you could be the first to respond when someone goes into cardiac arrest.

Our one-day Immediate Life Support (ILS) course teaches you how to take charge in those critical early moments before the specialist team arrives.

More than 100,000 people take this course every year, and it’s one of the most popular we offer at RCUK.

We’ve been nominated for an award! 🎉

Last month we launched our short film 'Power in our hands', which reminds us all that we have the power to help save a life, and prompts viewers to stop and think, “Would I know how to help in an emergency?”

We’re delighted that the film has been nominated for a Smiley Charity Film Award.

Nearly 4 in 10 UK students say they haven’t received CPR training at school*. Is your child one of them?

We believe every student should have the opportunity to learn this lifesaving skill. It’s time for governments to step up, deliver on their promises, and implement the support and systems needed to ensure this training is delivered consistently.
