Rejected petition Make CPR training a compulsory part of the KS4 curriculum in the UK.
In the UK there is only a 1 in 10 chance of surviving an out of hospital sudden cardiac arrest, because a mere 22% of the population feels confident in performing CPR. In Sweden, where CPR and first aid training is a compulsory part of the school curriculum, the odds of survival are 4 in 10.
