Overview

Cardiac arrest and airway obstruction demand an organised response. Basic life support helps a responder maintain vital functions until emergency clinicians take over. This course explains how early recognition leads into appropriate intervention. Learners examine CPR and automated external defibrillator use as connected parts of emergency care. The course also addresses consent and professional conduct when urgent assistance is needed.

Why this Training Matters for your Organisation
A life-threatening event can develop before specialist help reaches the scene. Employees who understand the response sequence are better placed to begin suitable support and communicate with emergency services. BLS awareness gives an organisation a practical layer of preparedness for cardiac and breathing emergencies. It clarifies how staff can assist while protecting the casualty's dignity and their own safety.
Who Should Attend
The course is relevant wherever employees may need to support a person whose breathing or circulation is compromised. It is particularly useful for:
  • Care personnel who require current knowledge of essential BLS procedures.
  • Workplace responders who may encounter cardiac arrest or choking.
  • Managers responsible for emergency preparation within an operational team.

Certification, CPD, and Records

The certificate becomes available digitally on the date the learner passes. Two CPD points accompany the accredited course and can be noted in an employee's learning history.

Course Content and Learning Outcomes

The learning moves from identifying danger to sustaining care until handover. Legal duties and respectful treatment are considered alongside the physical response. Core subjects are:

  • Recognition of cardiac arrest and assessment of safety before contact.
  • Delivery of CPR and use of an automated external defibrillator.
  • Management of an obstructed airway and use of the recovery position.
  • Observation of vital signs and effective handover to emergency services.

Duration and Delivery

Participants work through the online material in approximately 1 to 2 hours. The course includes audio voiceover and can be accessed from a suitable location with options available for customizing title and content to learners’ needs.

Assessment and Completion

Learners answer 20 multiple-choice questions after studying the course. A 100% result is required. Marking is immediate and another attempt does not carry an extra fee.

Team and Company Bookings

Organisations can assign BLS learning to employees whose roles place them near colleagues or service users. Group access also makes completion easier to record across the selected team.
