RCUK Instructor Day 2026

Instructor Day is designed for instructors on RCUK advanced and immediate life support courses and the Generic Instructor Course. Instructor Candidates and Instructor Potentials are also welcome. The one-day programme combines plenaries, Q&A, repeated parallel sessions and practical education updates, with topics including human factors, candidate feedback, reasonable adjustments, debriefing and course-specific changes.

The published agenda runs from registration at 08:00 to the close at 17:05. Speakers include Gavin Perkins, Andy Lockey, Naomi Reeves, Joyce Yeung and other members of the resuscitation education community. The organiser says the event and exhibition will bring together hundreds of healthcare professionals and educators, with coffee, lunch and exhibition periods built into the timetable for networking.

Standard registration is £159 and a group ticket for four to ten people is £149 per attendee. Full RCUK members can request a £15 discount code; instructors count as associate members unless they have separately paid for full membership. Registration is listed as available until 23:59 Europe/London on 19 November 2026, while purchase-order payments are accepted only until 13 November.

RCUK says it will apply to the Royal College of Anaesthetists for CPD accreditation, but accreditation and points are not yet confirmed. No abstract call, submission portal, word limit, structure, categories, presentation route or publication outcome is advertised on the current event pages or the adjacent 2024 edition. The event is in person at the ICC in Birmingham; Birmingham New Street is the nearest railway station, and the organiser links to venue directions and negotiated accommodation offers.
