Programme

Basic Life Support Training

Certified-standard BLS, CPR and first-aid training for health professionals, and practical, confidence-building sessions for the public.

Survival from cardiac arrest depends on what happens in the first few minutes, long before an ambulance arrives. We make sure more people can act in those minutes.

  • For health workers: high-quality CPR, bag-valve-mask ventilation, AED use and team resuscitation
  • For the public: hands-only CPR, the recovery position, choking relief and bleeding control
  • For drivers and transport workers: safe scene management and bystander first response at road crashes

Sponsors can fund places for trainees who could not otherwise attend. See our current campaigns.
