Resuscitation Council (UK) Announce Date for New Guidelines
September 2009
The Resuscitation Council (UK) have announced the publication date for the next Resuscitation Guidelines - 18th Oct 2010. ILCOR, the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation will meet early in 2010 to agree a worldwide consensus on resuscitation science which will then form the basis of the new guidelines.
The worldwide experts meet every 5 years to formulate the best way of teaching and performing resuscitation, based the latest scientific evidence available. The present guidelines, published in 2005 were phased in over 3 years as first aiders renewed qualifications. The new guidelines will hopefully be phased in over 1 year as annual refresher training is now recommended by the HSE.
