ResusReady | Resuscitation Council UK

Help us create a nation of ResusReady lifesavers!

There are more than 100,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests every year in the UK. Of those treated by ambulance personnel (over 34,000), fewer than one in 10 people survive. Becoming ResusReady means that you have the vital skills to help save a life. Watch our video to find out more.

We know that bystander CPR is performed less often in deprived communities. By signing up, you’ll be providing vital data in helping us to know exactly where we need to target our efforts to ensure everyone, has an equal chance of survival.

Whether you are an individual or organisation, you can register as ResusReady. Got a question about ResusReady? Visit our FAQs.
