Description

In a cardiac emergency, every second counts, and knowing how to respond could mean the difference between life and death. This module is designed for non-clinical staff and imparts the essential skills needed to confidently intervene during a cardiac arrest.

Throughout this module, you'll uncover the critical signs of cardiorespiratory arrest and learn the fundamental steps of early and effective resuscitation. Covering everything from when to call for help to administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and using automated external defibrillators (AEDs), this course will provide you with all the knowledge and skills necessary to act swiftly and decisively in a crisis. Get ready to make a real difference – because being prepared can save lives. 

Statutory & Mandatory Training: Resuscitation Level 1 Features

Our Statutory & Mandatory Training: Resuscitation Level 1 course has been designed to work on all devices including mobiles, laptops, tablets and desktops giving you the flexibility to complete the training at a time and in a location suitable for you.

With healthcare staff often expected to complete training on an annual basis there will be topics you will be more familiar with than others. Our self assessment tool, which is at the start of each course, will allow you to test your knowledge to see if you would like to complete the training or progress straight to the end of course test.

At the end of this resuscitation level 1 course, you will need to complete a test that consists of multiple choice questions. Learners are required to achieve an 80% pass mark, and - if necessary - may attempt the test six times at no extra cost. If learners do not achieve the pass mark, further attempts may be given by contacting our support team.

The resuscitation level 1 course is fully interactive and is packed with various multimedia forms including video, animation and custom graphics to give you the best learning experience.

Each element of the training is WCAG 2.2 accessible and includes scenarios, contextualised activities, reflective activities, knowledge checks, bite sized lessons and so much more.

The content of this training course has been independently certified as conforming to universally accepted Continuous Professional Development (CPD) guidelines.

Duration

This course will take up to 45 minutes to complete, depending on how quickly learners can study and absorb the material. Learners do not have to complete all the training in one session as progress is recorded throughout.
