Rlss ukrolls out updated cpr and first aid training

The Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK) has implemented comprehensive updates to CPR and First Aid training across its qualifications and awards, following the latest Resuscitation Council UK (RCUK) guidelines.

The changes, introduced on 1 May 2026, follow several months of work to update RLSS UK’s training content and support materials.

The revised guidance covers areas including faster early response from bystanders, immediate calls to emergency services, enhanced use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs), and changes to infant compression technique.

RLSS UK said the updates are now an integral part of all relevant qualifications and awards. The organisation worked closely with its Clinical Governance Group and RCUK to understand how the new guidance should be applied across its training portfolio.
