Furthermore, this course is endorsed by Skills for Care and aligns with the Resuscitation Council (UK) guidelines for adult and peadiatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and basic life support (BLS).
This comprehensive course encompasses Basic Life Support skills, spanning Adult, Child, and Infant care, and includes healthcare-specific variations for infant CPR.
