Basic Life Support Instructor Refresher Course
The UK Resuscitation Council updates clinical guidelines periodically. Specifically, these changes directly impact how you teach CPR and AED techniques. Delivering outdated compliance material can conflict with modern best practices. Therefore, instructors must maintain current subject knowledge to protect their organizations.
This face-to-face refresher course updates your instructional skills effectively. However, this program is strictly for existing trainers. You must have completed our initial Basic Life Support Instructor program first. As a result, this session focuses directly on modern guideline updates.
What the Refresher Covers
Our practical curriculum ensures your teaching materials match current national standards. For instance, the training modules revisit these key areas:
Updated Resuscitation Content
- Adult and Paediatric CPR: Revisit modern chest compression and rescue breathing techniques.
- Defibrillator Protocols: Review automated external defibrillator use and updated deployment steps.
- Choking Responses: Manage airway obstructions safely for adult and paediatric casualties.
- Evidence Base: Track recent changes to the clinical chain of survival models.
Instructor Skills Refresh
- Session Structures: Revisit how to organize and deliver interactive skills training.
- Error Prevention: Identify common instructor mistakes and learn how to avoid them.
- Assessment Methods: Refine your practical evaluation skills to ensure consistent testing.
- Material Updates: Adapt your internal session plans to reflect current guidelines.
- Record Keeping: Maintain robust internal evidence logs to track candidate competence.
Prerequisites and Venue Options
This update track requires previous basic life support coaching experience. Specifically, you must hold our initial instructor certificate to attend. If you lack this initial qualification, please book the full course first.
