#October2025 🫀 We need to talk about Annie 🫀 For decades, millions have learnt CPR using Resusci-Annie – a white, slim, blond female manikin created in the 1960s. But how well does Annie reflect the people we actually resuscitate in real life? @ResusCouncilUK @RCollEM In a recent EMJ editorial, Ellen Weber @emjeditor challenges us to think critically about diversity in CPR training. A scoping review found: ✅ Most manikins remain white and slim ✅ Only 5% of instructional videos used non-white manikins ✅ Just 12% of teaching institutions reported having diverse manikins ✅ Black participants reported feeling more engaged when manikins reflected their ethnicity emj.bmj.com/content/early/20…📖 📖 We already know that CPR is less likely to be performed in deprived or minority communities. Could the lack of representation in training be sending the wrong message? If we want to tackle inequities in resuscitation, perhaps it’s time to start with Annie. 📖 Read the full editorial here: doi.org/10.1136/emermed-2025… #EmergencyMedicine #Resuscitation #Equity #MedicalEducation #CPR
