What is Basic Life Support Training and should I take it?
Basic Life Support (BLS) typically refers to the training first responders, healthcare providers and public safety professionals provide.
The training covers cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), automated external defibrillators (AED), and relieving airway obstructions.
This training helps prepare you for a career in the healthcare sector, as well as general life.
Cardiac arrest recognition is heavily covered in this course, as it's the first step in triggering the emergency response.
Practicing chest compressions on a model is included, to teach you accurate and effective skills.
How long does it take and what's the cost?
The length of time depends on the size of the group participating in the train.
1-2 people: Typically 30-40 minutes
Any larger group is looking at longer.
With our registered healthcare candidates, the training is free.
With people who aren't registered, costs may vary. Call 0121 260 0002 to find out more.
Why you need Basic Life Support Training...
Basic Life Support Training is a highly valuable course to take, as it teaches you life-saving skills.
Without immediate attention, victims of cardiac arrest or choking can lose their lives.
As nearly 50% of heart attack fatalities occurring outside of a hospital, knowing how to perform BSL can save a life.
