Basic Resuscitation Course

The course is designed  for people with no prior knowledge of resuscitation techniques or for those people who would like to refresh and update their skills.

The techniques used will be in accordance with the latest guidelines set out by The Resuscitation Council.

Teaching is aimed at being informal, relaxed and in small groups. We want you to feel able to ask any questions at any time and to feel comfortable throughout the session. Our aim is for you to leave the course happy and confident in your resuscitation ability.
