Updated CPR advice

The BMA, the Royal College of Nursing and the Resuscitation Council (UK) have produced updated joint guidance on the ethical principles that should inform how decisions about CPR are made and communicated. This latest 2016 revision of guidance is in response to public and professional debate about CPR decisions, and to recent statutory changes and legal judgments. The key ethical and legal principles that should inform all CPR decisions remain, but even greater emphasis has been placed on ensuring high-quality timely communication, decision-making and recording in relation to decisions about CPR.
