Resuscitation Council UK

It is the United Kingdom body responsible for setting central standards for CPR and related disciplines.

Its objective is to educate both the general public and health care professionals in the most effective resuscitation methods.

RCUK leads the UK's effort on Restart a Heart Day, working with St John Ambulance, NHS Ambulance Services, British Heart Foundation, British Red Cross and the Saving Lives for Scotland to raise awareness of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and encourage people to learn CPR skills.

[8][9] RCUK also works to raise awareness of the importance of CPR decision-making, and has developed the Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment (ReSPECT) Process, which has been adopted in numerous regions across the UK.
