It’s happening again!
Resuscitation Wizardry is back in London on Monday 7 and Tuesday 8 December 2026, at 15 Hatfields, five minutes from Waterloo. The last two sold out, so we’ve moved somewhere bigger.
If you haven’t come across it, it’s two days of everything I wish someone had told me when I was training in emergency medicine and intensive care. Half of it is clinical: airway, cardiac arrest, shock and circulation, haemorrhage, sepsis, neuroresuscitation and HALO procedures. The other half is the stuff that decides whether any of that actually happens. That means the Zero Point Survey, team culture, tactical communication, cognitive aids in chaos, and how to do this job for a whole career without it eating you alive.
What delegates said
Rather than me telling you how good it is, here’s what delegates said:
“Honestly, it was the best course I’ve been on this decade. Most courses I feel I know a lot of the content already, this was phenomenal and Inspiring”
“Inspirational, emotional and reminds people why we do what we do!”
“Ownership! I feel like my identity with my specialty is refreshed.”
“Culture Culture Culture – been thinking about ways to improve it at my shop”
“Just loved the discussion on real cases and the enthusiasm.”
“Loved discussion on tactical communication, persuasion techniques”
“Airway lesson was inclusive of all skill levels regardless of current professional position.”
“Excellent refresher and new learning. Really great use of case examples. Good use of group working.”
“Expert knowledge with culture and compassion and kindness.”
“Made me think about what I need to do to be the best resuscitationist I can be.”
When I asked what people would do differently afterwards, some of the answers had nothing to do with resus at all:
“Be even kinder at work.”
“Spend more quality time with my son”
“Rebalance my clinical work toward family”
And my personal favourite piece of feedback: “Cliff you need to take breaks and eat.” Noted.
What’s the format?
It’s an interactive masterclass rather than a simulation course. I teach both days myself, mostly through case-based learning, so we work through real resuscitations together. Along the way there are stories from the front line, some of them very moving, plus interactive quizzes, group tabletop games and plenty of discussion. There are no sim scenarios or skill stations, so it suits every level of experience, and you don’t need to prepare anything.
The practical bit
Early bird tickets are £330 until 31 October, then £385. It’s in person only. The full programme can be downloaded from the course page if you need it for a study leave application, and there’s a one-page flyer for your department noticeboard.
Hope to see you there, and please tell all your friends who love resus.
