Resuscitation courses at CPFT

Basic Life Support

Many job roles at CPFT require up-to-date knowledge and skills relating to resuscitation. For the majority of staff the appropriate level is Basic Life Support (BLS), which is offered in two parts:

    • Basic Life Support - a half day face-to-face session for new staff and staff who have not completed a face to face session in over 12 months
    • Basic Life Support refresher - an e-learning refresher package for staff who are up-to-date on resuscitation training.

Choose the session appropriate for your work area and follow the booking instructions on the course page:
