Adult or Paediatric Basic Life Support
This course can be adapted to suit a variety of audiences, from the complete novice to those who are skilled but feel their resuscitation skills need updating. Audiences range from parents, school staff and other first aiders through to dentists, doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals. Resuscitation training normally takes place over three hours and includes the necessary theory followed by lots of practical “hands-on” practice to build confidence.
The syllabus includes:-

Choking Management
The training is in line with the Resuscitation Council (UK) Guidelines 2005 and can be adapted to suit the client in respects to what age group they may be resuscitating, be it babies, children or adults.
Individuals are measured by means of continuous assessment. Successful candidates are awarded a certificate that is valid for one year. There is no final exam.
