CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) & BLS (Basic Life Support) AED (Automated External Defibrillation).
The purpose of this Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Automated External Defibrillation course is to provide the learner with the skills, knowledge and understanding in the provision of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and of the safe use and management of an Automated External Defibrillator. This qualification offers the trained provider the opportunity to provide effective emergency lifesaving first aid care using an AED. This is achieved through the understanding of the BLS/AED algorithm and the responsibilities and treatment principles of AED use.
This course includes the latest CPR and coronavirus recommendations.
ProTrainings Basic Life Support courses have been designed to meet all the required learning outcomes and are aligned to the Skills for Health UK Core Skills Training Framework, or UK-CSTF. This includes both level 2 adult and paediatric patient care.
This course covers basic life support skills and includes skills for adults, children and infants, as well as healthcare variations on infant CPR. The course includes safety, precautions, initial assessment, recovery position, CPR, compression-only CPR, CPR handover and choking. This is ideal for nurses, care workers or medical professionals needing annual updates to complete professional membership. In most cases, this course is ideal as an online-only course, but if you need a practical session as well, we have a network of approved instructors where we can offer the course as blended, including a short practical session.
AED training is also included in the course. Learning AED skills is becoming more important with the increase in the numbers of units in the community and workplace. They are easy to use with a little training and make a real difference in the chance of survival for someone in cardiac arrest. If you have already completed any other first aid course, you will understand the importance of the prompt use of an AED, making this an ideal next course to take to develop your skills.
All our first aid courses fully meet the latest UK and European Resuscitation Council Guidelines as per the HSE requirements.
This qualification and most of the other ProTrainings qualifications are endorsed by TQUK to show our commitment to extra levels of compliance and quality assurance.
