There is currently concern that junior psychiatrists lack adequate skill in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. However, little attention has been given to the equally important issues of nurse training, organisation and the provision of equipment and drugs which are appropriate to psychiatric wards. This paper describes the work of the Leicestershire Mental Health Services Resuscitation Committee and makes suggestions as to how these problems may be approached.
