Immediate Life Support - Recertification

The ILS course has been developed in order to standardise much of the in-hospital training undertaken already by Resuscitation Officers. Its aim is to train healthcare personnel in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, simple airway management and safe defibrillation (manual and/or AED), enabling them to manage patients in cardiac arrest until arrival of a cardiac arrest team and to participate as members of that team. 

The recertification course can be undertaken by anyone who has completed a full ILS course and whose certificate is not more than 18 months old. The course lasts half a day and we run a morning and afternoon course. Please be aware that depending on numbers we may only run one course and therefore may need to move your course time. 

For further information about this course please contact us.
