Welcome, East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust
Thank you for making the commitment to save more lives from cardiac arrest. Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI) is being implemented across your system. This innovative program will change and improve how you complete CPR education.
Rethinking CPR education delivery and quality

Being part of a movement
Low-dose, high-frequency education is the foundation of the Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI) programs that measure and verify competence, to help healthcare providers retain life-saving skills.
Low-dose, high-frequency education (quarterly instead of annual training) is proven to sustain knowledge and skills more effectively over time and at a higher level of quality. This leads to high-quality CPR performance and competence, in turn maximising lifesaving outcomes from cardiac arrest.
The LearningRQI.com page is dedicated to providing all of the supporting scientific evidence around our programs and is continuously updates as new articles are released.
The clinical science is clear: CPR skills decay rapidly, requiring quarterly refreshers to maintain competence. With RQI, staff learn on their own schedule, at the point of care. Simulation stations conveniently located throughout the organisation make it easy to incorporate brief skills refreshers every 90 days into normal workflow. RQI brings quality BLS education straight to staff, enhancing patient care instead of interrupting it. RQI is the only program proven to achieve clinical competence in high-quality CPR.​
Becoming an RQI SuperUser?
As a SuperUser, your role is to understand the value of high-quality CPR and be an advocate for it and help explain the principles of RQI to learners. You will be a resource person for those who may be struggling and an expert on resources available for RQI at your facility.
