BASIC LIFE SUPPORT
This short resuscitation course is essential for all state-registered healthcare professionals, especially those who are expected to resuscitate children and infants as part of their role.
Who Should Attend ?
All healthcare professionals should be proficient in resuscitating patients. Most healthcare professionals will need to prove competency every 12 months.
Healthcare professionals who potentially need to resuscitate children must be trained in the specific HCP resuscitation protocols for children and infants. Healthcare professionals who care for children as part of their role but are unlikely to need to resuscitate them should learn standard child and infant CPR.
