Basic Emergency Life Support Training
Heartguard has been teaching life saving skills for over twenty-five years we are a leader in the field of instructing Basic Emergency Life Support.
It is vital that all members of the community learn these skills. The knowledge and skills you will learn on a Heartguard course are of great importance. It may be that, one day, the only thing that stands between life and death of a colleague, friend or a member of your family are the skills acquired during a Heartguard course.
This course can be adapted to suit a variety of audiences, from the complete novice to those who are skilled but feel their resuscitation skills need updating. Audiences range from parents, school staff and other first aiders through to dentists, nurses and other healthcare professionals.
Resuscitation training normally takes place over 2 hours and includes the necessary theory followed by lots of practical “hands-on” practice to build confidence.
The training is in line with the Resuscitation Council (UK) Guidelines and can be adapted to suit the client in respects to what age group they may be resuscitating, be it babies, children or adults.
