Basic Life Support and Safe Use of an Automated External Defibrillator – Level 2 Award

Accredited by
Qualsafe
Certification
Level 2 Award in Basic Life Support and Safe Use of an Automated External Defibrillator
Duration
Half Day

After a cardiac arrest, each minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces a casualty’s chance of survival by 10%. Despite being one of the UK’s leading causes of death, statistics reveal that a significant portion of the British public lacks awareness about the life-saving impact they can have by performing CPR and defibrillation.

Our qualification has been created to empower candidates with the skills essential for administering safe, prompt, and effective basic life support, along with the secure use of an AED during emergencies.

Considering an estimated 60,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur annually in the UK alone, it is crucial you are prepared.

What’s covered?

  • Chain of survival
  • Assessing an incident
  • Casualty assessment
  • Managing an unresponsive casualty
  • Recovery Position
  • CPR
  • AED safety considerations
    • Using an AED
    • Combining AED use with CPR
    • Using an AED an a child
  • Procedures for when Emergency Services arrive

It was a great course and will definitely impact my responsibilities as a support worker positively before calling 999. I will now do my part whilst waiting for emergency services, thereby reducing the complications for the casualties.

I’m really thankful to our lovely trainer Mrs. Sandra for the lovely class she delivered today. She taught us about every emergency situation that we could face as a care giver, and how we can face situations in the correct way to preserve someone’s life.
