Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
The Provide CPR course focuses on the management of a patient who is unresponsive and not breathing. It covers the fundamentals of quality CPR, the application of an automated external defibrillator and highlights the importance of early hands-on chests to ensure the best outcomes for our patients. The CPR course acts as a yearly refresher for those who are required to maintain currency as a first aider in their workplace. Please note, we only deliver private group courses and as such cannot accommodate individuals.
