This article reports the results of a cardiopulmonary‐resuscitation training programme by way of the retention of the knowledge and skills of cardiopulmonary resuscitation by 11‐ and 12‐year‐old children. The results indicate that cardiopulmonary resuscitation can be taught to some individuals at this age but that performance declines quite markedly over a period of five months after training.
