What will I learn?

 

​To comply with the Resuscitation Council (UK)  and CQC guidelines, all primary care organisations must ensure that both clinical and non-clinical staff can undertake cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Training is led by qualified medical professionals with extensive experience in emergency medical care.

​

​​​​CPR
Choking

On-site training room requirements

 

​It is recommended that the room size should be approximately 20 x 30 feet for a full 12-person course. The room should be large enough to seat all candidates comfortably in a semicircle formation. The floor space in the centre should be clean and uncluttered, as this will be used for the practical parts of the course. The trainer will also require a flip chart, if one is available.
