Basic Life Support
Master Essential Resuscitation Skills & Secure Compliance
Equip your care workforce with the vital, life-saving practical skills, confidence, and knowledge required to respond to cardiac arrest and emergencies. Fully aligned with UK Resuscitation Council guidelines, CQC standards, and NHS frameworks
Why Basic Life Support (BLS) Training is Critical
In health and social care environments, an emergency can occur in a split second. Having a workforce that can respond immediately with effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the difference between saving a life and a tragic outcome. Our Basic Life Support course is a vital, mandatory compliance course required for all healthcare professionals and frontline care workers across the UK.
This hands-on, practical course strips away the panic, giving your staff clear, structured protocols to assess an unconscious casualty, deliver high-quality chest compressions, and safely operate an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
Designed to support complete compliance with CQC standards, NHS frameworks, and Skills for Care guidance, Almans Education ensures your team stands ready to act safely, decisively, and effectively when every second counts.
