Why Is First Aid (Resuscitation) Level 2 training important?

Immediate and effective basic life support can significantly improve outcomes following cardiac arrest. First Aid (Resuscitation) Level 2 training helps staff recognise emergencies quickly, begin CPR promptly, use an AED safely and support the chain of survival until emergency services arrive.

The training also improves confidence when responding to choking incidents, clinical deterioration and unconscious casualties. For healthcare and social care providers, maintaining competent staff supports safer care, strengthens professional practice and helps organisations meet recognised standards for emergency preparedness, risk management and patient safety.

Is First Aid (Resuscitation) Level 2 training a legal requirement in the UK?

No single UK law states that every employee must complete First Aid (Resuscitation) Level 2 training. However, employers have legal duties under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 to provide appropriate first aid arrangements based on workplace risks.

Within healthcare and social care, employers are expected to ensure staff receive suitable resuscitation training appropriate to their role, taking account of guidance from the Resuscitation Council UK and relevant national standards. Many NHS organisations, care providers and regulated services include Level 2 resuscitation training within mandatory training programmes for clinical and patient-facing staff.
