Basic Life Support
This annual course is designed for GPs, Nurses, Dentists, and other healthcare professionals who are required to complete training as part of their continuous professional development (CPD). We provide professional CPR manikins which provide a realistic chest compression and ventilation experience, with real-time feedback on rate and depth of compressions.
Every delegate receives a face shield to ensure maximum infection prevention. Automated External Defibrillator Training, Anaphylaxis Management, or both can be added to this session for an extra fee. Our experienced tutors can create industry-specific scenarios which will reinforce learning and bring courses to life.
