Basic Life Support (BLS)

Basic Life Support (BLS) is resuscitation training delivered to current Resuscitation Council UK guidelines — the structured, clinical approach to recognising and managing a collapse. It is the course many care and healthcare settings require their staff to hold, often as an annual competency, and it is equally valuable for any organisation wanting a higher standard of resuscitation skill.

The session is practical and protocol-driven, taking delegates through the adult BLS sequence step by step on manikins, including safe use of an AED and an overview of paediatric BLS. We deliver it at your premises so whole teams — or a rota of staff — can be trained and signed off together.

BLS is commonly required for GP and dental practices, care and nursing homes, pharmacies and other healthcare and care staff who need an annual update. It is also well suited to any workplace that wants resuscitation skills delivered to a recognised clinical standard. No prior qualification is required.

Delegates are assessed by practical observation against the Resuscitation Council UK sequence, and successful learners receive a certificate. Many healthcare and care employers require BLS to be refreshed every year as part of statutory and mandatory training, and we can schedule the course to recur annually so your team stays compliant.

We bring manikins, AED trainers and consumables to your premises; you provide a room with floor space and a power socket. The course runs in around three hours and covers up to 12 people for one fixed price — an efficient way to keep clinical and care teams up to date with their annual resuscitation competency.
