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.
