Basic Life Support – Refresher Course

Description

Basic Life Support (BLS) | Half-Day Refresher

Duration: 3.5 Hours

Compliance: RCUK 2025 Guidelines | CQC & Skills for Care Standards

Keep your team’s life-saving skills sharp with our intensive BLS Refresher. This half-day session is designed specifically for healthcare professionals who have previously completed full BLS training and require their annual competency sign-off. We cut through the introductory theory to focus on high-impact, practical drills aligned with the Resuscitation Council UK (RCUK) 2025 Guidelines.

Refresher Objectives:

• Rapid Assessment: Re-mastering the ABCDE approach for quick clinical decision-making.

• High-Quality CPR: Focused practice on chest compression depth and rate to ensure optimal perfusion.

• AED Proficiency: Rapid deployment and safe operation of an Automated External Defibrillator.

• Updated Protocols: Practical review of the jaw thrust technique for spinal safety and the “5 initial rescue breaths” protocol for specific incidents (drowning/paediatric).

• Choking & Recovery: Refreshing techniques for managing airway obstructions and the recovery position.

Why this Refresher?

In a crisis, confidence is as important as knowledge. This session ensures your staff don’t just “know” the theory, but can act decisively and instinctively. Completion provides the necessary evidence for CQC compliance and professional revalidation.
