Medical Emergencies And Bls

Medical Emergencies And BLS Training Course Description

In any medical working environment, each and every member of the staff should be trained in the fundamental basics of tending to emergencies and offering life support. The very nature of the medical sector as a whole is such that emergencies are much more likely to manifest on a regular basis – simple skills and the confidence that accompanies them can make the difference between life and death.

Built in accordance with British Resuscitation Council and BDA Guidelines, this course offers rudimentary training for Medical Emergencies and Basic Life Support for GP’s, Dentists and Health Centres. Designed to instil the most important life-saving skills in every employee working in such an environment, the course goes one step further than standard first aid for those already working in (or planning to work in) medical environments.

As it can be challenging to fit training sessions in around an already hectic schedule, we offer the highest level of flexibility and can organise sessions at weekends or during evenings for no extra cost.
