Sadly, the UK sadly does not have great statistics on survival of out of hospital cardiac arrest. Education of Basic Life Support (BLS) is fundamental if we are going to improve on these statistics.
Choice Medics are offering a free day of training in school to all the children and teachers with additional days if required. We want the children to get the most out of the day, so we work with the staff to create bespoke training most relevant to the needs of the school. Whether we focus on individual year groups or teach the whole school, we love a challenge and aim to make all learning fun, engaging and age appropriate.
In Key Stage Two, each year group can be individually taught using visual aids and manikins by experienced and practising Paramedics. BLS training will be delivered, including the use of an AED trainer.
Key stage one children can get involved too, learning how to make that important telephone call to the emergency services, how to do the recovery position and will watch a demonstration of CPR in a role play scenario with an introduction to the AED.
We don't want to just limit the training to the children. After the school day we can remain and invite parents, friends and the community into the school.
The two hour Lecture includes:
The cost for the adult workshops are £20 per person.
Tickets can be purchased via the school or through our website.
