If you work in healthcare in or around Northwich, life support training is one of those things that needs to stay at the top of your CPD list. It is not a one off. It is a skill that has to be practised and refreshed regularly, because the day you need to use it is the day it absolutely has to work.
We are PCT Services, and our training centre is right here in Northwich at First Floor, 2 Queen Street. We offer three Resuscitation Council UK accredited courses, and the right one for you depends on your clinical role and responsibilities.
Basic Life Support (BLS)
BLS is the course every healthcare worker needs. It covers adult CPR, the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED), and the recovery position. It is a two hour CPD certified course aligned with CSTF Level 2 standards, designed as a mandatory annual refresher. This is for everyone in a healthcare setting, not just clinical staff.
Basic Life Support Training (BLS)
This Basic Life Support course provides essential knowledge and practical skills to competently recognise a cardiac arrest and commence basic life support in adults, children and infants. It also covers safe application of an AED (Automatic External Defibrillator), how to use a pocket mask, administration of oxygen, and the initial assessment and management of anaphylaxis.
