GP Surgeries & Medical Centre Resuscitation, Defibrillation & Anaphylaxis Medical Emergencies Training

(CPD Certified - 2 CPD points)

There is no doubt that patients expect the highest standard of care during a routine visit or consultation, or when an unforeseen emergency arises at the surgery or in the home.

 

If everyone is trained to respond using current and appropriate resuscitation, defibrillation and anaphylaxis skills and techniques, the patient's chance of recovery will be greatly improved, and relatives can be assured that everything possible was, indeed, done for them.

 

This training course will suit all levels of knowledge and experience within your organisation and should be an integral part of your business objectives. Training should also be undertaken on a regular basis (CQC requirement).

Education and implementation of resuscitation

(Resuscitation Counclil (UK) 2015)

The optimal intervals for CPR/AED retraining are not known and will differ according to the characteristics of the learner (e.g. lay or healthcare). It is widely accepted that skills decay within three to six months after initial training. Frequent 'low-dose' training may improve CPR skills.
