Resuscitation Council UK is working towards a day when every person in society has the skills they need to save a life. Currently, not everyone has an equal chance of surviving the ultimate medical emergency. Simple lifesaving skills and confidence aren’t yet as widespread as they should be. If you live in some of the poorest parts of the UK, or come from a particular ethnic minority background, you may be less likely to survive a cardiac arrest. This is not acceptable. Together as a community we are demanding urgent action from the UK’s leaders to change this and make sure everyone has an equal chance of survival.
