Welcome to ResusPro!

I’m Rod Mackenzie, Founder of ResusPro and a passionate advocate for resuscitation training and medical education. Over the past 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of learning from outstanding resuscitation professionals and leading high-quality training programmes.

I founded ResusPro to bring together these experiences and create an environment where great teachers can help emergency physicians refine their skills in resuscitation room care. I hope you enjoy what our team has to offer and that your experience with ResusPro helps you build confidence and skills that make a real difference in resuscitation room care.

About ResusPro

We are a team of dedicated resuscitation professionals, united by our passion for Emergency Medicine and our commitment to delivering world-class training. We believe exceptional training experiences are built on three essential pillars:

Courtesy, Professionalism, and Respect (CPR!)—We create safe, inclusive spaces for learning and growth: 'Professional training for professional people'.
Deep Subject Matter Expertise and Experience—Our inspirational faculty embodies the philosophy: 'Those teach best who most need to know.'
Experiential Learning—Practical, hands-on opportunities to learn by doing: 'We remember best what we experience firsthand.'

Time in the resuscitation room is invaluable yet often limited during Emergency Medicine training. The relative rarity of critical illness and injury among the high volume of less severe Emergency Department presentations makes such exposure even harder to come by. ResusPro was designed to bridge this critical gap in exposure, offering a transformative educational experience.

Our mission is to inspire and empower the next generation of resuscitation professionals, equipping them with the confidence, expertise, and resilience to excel in the most demanding clinical environments.

Delegate Reviews

Here is a sample of the delegate reviews and feedback we have received from our previous training courses.

"It was fantastic to have a chance to ask so many questions during the day, and the fact that the faculty was so varied meant there was such a wealth of knowledge to learn from. It was great to have so many different scenarios to work through, all having different take aways and the time for debrief was a really valuable experience. There was a really good balance between lectures and activities. My favourite part of the day was the focus on human factors, as often courses address the "how" to do something without acknowledging the many factors that can be barriers around it"

"The course was well run. Hands on practice was very useful. Faculty were professional”

"The course was organised well, models were very realistic. The scenarios were appropriate and brought out important learning points. Good mix of Emergency and Surgical faculty which brought an appropriate skill mix. The course was enjoyable and informative. The venue was excellent”
