Basic Life Support and Anaphylaxis

This course is designed for Practice and District Nurses, Health Visitors and Midwives who work in General Practice. It is completed in about an hour and three quarters and is suitable for lunchtime or evening meetings but is also often booked for afternoon Protected Learning Time sessions.

The format consists of a short talk on the principles of resuscitation and the recent changes in technique with the 2005 Guidelines, followed by practice on mannikins. Each candidate has their own "face" to prevent any risk of infection and we routinely teach the use of pocket masks and other resuscitation aids. We teach the recovery position and also include management of choking. After mastering the resuscitation skills we provide a concise talk on the identification and management of anaphylaxis out of hospital.

The course is compliant with the Resuscitation Council Guidelines issued in December 2005. Every participant receives a Certificate of Attendance. The cost of the session is £250 plus VAT for up to eighteen candidates
