King Charles Demonstrates CPR Skills During Nursing Cadet Visit

The monarch participated in first aid training at the Royal College of Nursing, marking the milestone of the 1,000th King’s Nursing Cadet.

King Charles, 76, practiced CPR on a mannequin under the guidance of a 17-year-old cadet during a visit to the Royal College of Nursing in London.
The visit celebrated the 1,000th participant in the King’s Nursing Cadet scheme, a program launched in 2019 to introduce young people to healthcare careers.
The King joked about his technique being corrected during the session and emphasized the importance of first aid training as a civic duty.
Charles observed additional demonstrations on choking hazards and infection prevention, sharing his own experiences with first aid training in the military and Scotland.
The event aimed to inspire others to refresh or learn life-saving skills, with nursing leaders praising the King’s involvement as a boost to recruitment efforts in the field.
