What is basic life support?

"Basic life support (BLS) is the level of medical care that is used for victims of life-threatening illnesses or injuries until they can be given full medical care at a hospital. It can be provided by trained medical personnel, including emergency medical technicians, paramedics, and by qualified bystanders"

What does a basic life support course involve?

Basic life support involves airway maintenance and supporting breathing and circulation following cardiac arrest without any equipment other than a simple airway protective device. Essentially BLS is used to buy time by providing effective ventilation and circulation until the underlying cause of cardiac arrest is established and reversed. Failure to provide adequate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) within the first 3 to 4 minutes can result in irreversible cerebral damage. It is therefore essential to deliver effective CPR to increase the chances of survival and recovery until the arrival of emergency services.

Basic Life Support training can be taken independently or as part of our mandatory training for care staff, nurses, agency workers, carers and other healthcare professionals who deliver care to patients in hospital and community settings.
