The Resuscitation Council UK Guidelines 2025 have arrived, and they bring the most significant updates since 2021. From how we teach CPR in schools to new first aid priorities and refined clinical guidance, these changes reflect years of international collaboration and research led by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) and adapted for the UK by the Resuscitation Council UK (RCUK).
