Basic Life Support (BLS) – for Health and Social Care
This basic life support course is split into easily digestible chunks. You’ll cover all the bases of basic life support as a subject and come away with the knowledge you’ll need to confidently deal with life-threatening situations.
As well as adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation, you will also learn about child and infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), how to use an automatic external defibrillator (AED) and how to deal with someone who is choking.
This BLS training course is based on the latest Resuscitation Council (UK) guidelines and contains guidance and videos kindly provided by St John Ambulance. It also provides the knowledge element of Care Certificate Standard 12. At the end, you’ll receive a certificate bearing the date, your name, CPD hours and learning objectives.
However challenging the situation, once you’ve done this course you’ll be better equipped to step up in a range of difficult situations. And you might just be able to save a life!
