Course Overview
Emergencies in health and social care can happen without warning, leaving staff uncertain about how to respond. Delays or incorrect actions during cardiac or respiratory crises can have serious consequences, yet many professionals feel unprepared. This course equips you with the knowledge and skills to act swiftly and confidently when lives are at stake.
You will explore the foundations of CPR, recognising cardiac and respiratory emergencies, and mastering both theoretical and practical CPR techniques.
