CPR In Schools
CPR In Schools (stylised: #CPRinschools) is a programme for trainee healthcare professionals from all disciplines to teach lifesaving cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills to children in schools in the United Kingdom[1]. The teaching programme is followed up by a session designed to inspire pupils to apply for NHS careers and offer support with application queries. [2]
Background
CPR in Schools was first founded by Dr Marina Soltan, an NHS doctor in training.[3] Dr Marina Soltan first started the initiative within schools in Burton upon Trent in July 2017.[4] [5] She successfully led and delivered the initiative to over 1000 school children in Burton upon Trent, including in areas of relative deprivation and in schools where children speak English as their second language, with the aims of: widening participation to careers in healthcare and inspiring a sustainable NHS workforce.[6] The work attracted significant media and public support and, in January 2018, went on to be presented at the National Foundation Doctors' Presentation Day winning national 1st prize. [3]
Subsequently, medical education stakeholders from Health Education England, the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, the Royal College of Physicians, the UK Foundation Programme Organisation and the General Medical Council supported the project and its growth nationally. [7][3][2]
Launch
In August 2018, the CPR in Schools initiative was formally endorsed by the UK Foundation Programme Organisation for 15,000 foundation doctors in training nationally. [3] To date, the CPR in Schools initiative has been rolled out by trainee healthcare professionals from all disciplines to over 2500 school children across the United Kingdom.[7]
Response
In July 2018, Dr Marina Soltan received an invitation from the Prime Minister, Theresa May, to meet in person at the NHS70 reception in Downing Street in view of her services to Medical Education including the founding of CPR in Schools.[7] [2] Subsequently, in January 2019, the UK government announced that the teaching of Basic Life Support Skills would become mandatory in all schools in the United Kingdom.
