Background
Every minute counts during a cardiac arrest and as nurses with over 60years combined experience we have seen the ramifications of delayed or poor CPR. Early good CPR can triple a person’s chances of survival. Teaching school children COR and basic life support could equip a whole generation and future generations with lifesaving skills.
We believe this training should be a mandatory & assessed part of the national curriculum across ALL UK nations to ensure consistent, lifesaving skills for all
