Basic Life Support Plus is an extension of our BLS/CPR course. Covering the essential elements from the BLS course, but then building on it further with a few more additional essential subjects and skills.

This course is principally designed for those who require a bit more than Basic Life Support but without the intensity of a full first aid course. It is ideally suited to those working in the Care sector that require competency in BLS but feel some additional extra training would be advantages. The CPR element taught is in compliance with and to the standard of the Resuscitation Council (UK) guidelines. This course also meets the requirements of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) Care Standards.
