What is BLS Training?
Basic Life Support (BLS) refers to the critical first aid care provided to someone experiencing a medical emergency, such as cardiac arrest, choking, or a sudden collapse. It includes:
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
Safe and effective use of an AED (Automated External Defibrillator)
Recognition of life-threatening conditions
Assistance for someone who is choking
How to manage an emergency situation quickly and calmly
These are essential, life-saving skills that every member of our care team must be confident and competent in.
Why is BLS Training So Important?
For many of our customers, particularly those who are older or living with health conditions, emergencies can occur unexpectedly. That’s why it’s vital that our Care Experts are well-equipped and prepared to act quickly and effectively.
BLS training is not a one-off event – it’s something we refresh regularly to ensure our team members stay up to date with best practices and remain confident in their abilities. Our training sessions combine practical, hands-on experience with up-to-date theoretical knowledge, helping our teams feel fully prepared for real-world situations.
