Timely recognition of cardiac arrest and delivering CPR by proper technique before the arrival of the medical team can save somebody’s life.

The Adult Basic Life Support with Automated External Defibrillator (BLS with AED) course was developed by the Resuscitation Council (UK). It is based on the recommendations and guidelines of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science with Treatment. The course is only for 3 hours.

The Adult BLS + AED course trains you to competently assess the collapsed patient, diagnose cardiac arrest and deliver CPR with the timely deployment of AED. It helps you develop the skills required to lead and work as a team member.

Who can attend the Adult BLS + AED course?

The Resuscitation Council UK recommends this programme for the following –

●    Anyone capable of giving CPR should learn to do so.

●    All school children.

●    All medical and nursing professionals

●    Ambulance attendants and paramedics.

●    Fire service technicians, police personnel, and prison officers.

What are the learning objectives?

The course aims at developing skills to manage an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest by recognising signs of cardiopulmonary arrest in a collapsed patient, deliver CPR, and deploying an AED.

The key outcomes include:

●    Recognition of signs of cardiac arrest in a collapsed patient.

●    Effective delivery of high quality CPR

●    Timely deployment of AED.

●    Developing non-technical skills like leadership and teamwork which are required to work efficiently in an emergency.

What are the Course Details?

The course is certified by the Resuscitation Council (UK) and provides the latest guidelines on assessing a collapsed patient, alerting emergency services, perform CPR, and use of the AED promptly. The course is structured based on the latest evidence-based guidelines and research.

The course is completed in 4 hours and includes demonstrations and interactive workshops. The course instructors are qualified and experienced healthcare professionals.

Will I have any tests or assessments in the Adult BLS + AED course?

You will be continually assessed for core competencies throughout the course. The candidate should pass all these assessments to be successful.

When will I get my certificate?

On successful completion of the course, the faculty would inform you to complete the online feedback for the course. You will be awarded the ‘Adult BLS with AED’ certificate from the Academy of Life Support, on completion of this feedback.

Why the Adult BLS + AED course?

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest has poor prognosis as a lot of valuable time is lost by the time the emergency team arrives. With the provision of AED now available at most public places, it is but imperative that everyone who can deliver CPR should do the course to be prepared in case they come across a collapsed unresponsive patient in cardiac arrest.

Thank you all for the lovely experience. Everything was well coordinated and organised.
I found the my E-ALS course really effective and productive, and I totally recommend it to other colleagues.
Amirhosein Zabihi, NHS

I recently updated my ALS Certification through an E-ALS course run by the Academy of Life Support. I cannot recommend the team highly enough for such courses – it was by far the best organised and run course of it’s kind I have participated in. The faculty on the day itself were friendly, professional, and approachable. They clearly had a breadth of knowledge and experience. The venue was also an ideal setting for a course such as this. I would recommend the Academy of Life Support for colleagues both completing ALS for the first time, or recertifying like myself – thank you to the team!

Hannah Greenacre, ED Registrar
Intense, but brilliant day! The faculty kept things fun and relevant with focused moments to ensure all candidates were progressing well. Constantly checking in and updating individuals on progress was really useful to gain confidence or understand where improvements can be made. Everyone was very approachable which facilitated an easy learning environment.
Jeet Patel, NHS

The course was expertly run by faculty who made us feel comfortable. The food was great. I’ve known other courses which charged more and haven’t even given proper food. Going for this course was the right decision ultimately. I’d recommend other people to go for their course.

Saeed Mohamed, NHS

The course was very well structured, organised and coordinated. All the instructors were really nice and very helpful. They answered all our questions and were supportive throughout the course. I really recommend doing ALS through the Academy of Life Support. Also, I have to say that the food was brilliant! I wanted to thank everyone for helping me complete the course.

Maria Dardar, Registrar, Respiratory Medicine
Faculty was absolutely brilliant, I admire the amount of hard work they put in preparing and conducting this course. Venue was brilliant and easy to find just off M25. Food and refreshments were more than I expected. I thank to whole team for conducting eALS in such a professional and friendly manner.
Arjaz Qureshi, Acute Medical Registrar
Thank you for firstly getting me on the course and also for a great day. Please also thank the entire faculty for me it was really nice to meet you all and learn. You are all very friendly, knowledgeable and supportive. I had a great time and met people I’ll definitely keep in touch with.
Arjan Shah, GP | A&E
I had an opportunity to attend both the immediate and advanced life support courses and they are the best courses I have ever attended. The Immediate Life Support course taught me how to recognise and initiate treatment of a deteriorating patient using the A to E assessment approach, while the Advanced Life Support course focused on technical and leadership skills. Everyone worked in small groups and each person had an opportunity to practice compressions, rhythm recognition and use the defibrillator. The course leaders created effective teams and made sure that all tasks were managed appropriately and effectively. Both courses were lead by highly skilled professionals. All material was explained in depth and demonstrated. Guidance and support were provided throughout both courses. The venue was great, with a unique atmosphere and a proper meal was provided for all participants! I would highly recommend both courses and I genuinely enjoyed being there.
Agnieszka Baran-Lazell, Trainee Nurse Associate
I was recently given the opportunity to attend an Advanced Life Support course run by Academy of Life Support. I was quite impressed by the venue’s size and capacity, as well as how well organised and user-friendly the administrative side of everything was. I would strongly suggest this course to anyone considering taking it for the first time or for re-certification. The faculty lecturers who presented throughout the course of the two days were very kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable.
Emma Chapman, Senior Sister, BHR Hospitals

Coming from a pre-hospital paramedic background, I was really interested in learning the in-hospital perspective of ALS. So, following a recommendation from a colleague, I joined the eALS course run by the Academy of Life Support.
The coaching and atmosphere created by the instructor team was fantastic. I really felt comfortable asking questions and learnt a vast amount as a result. The knowledge and experience of the instructors was clear from the beginning. There was a lot of content for one day of face to face learning. However, the e-learning before the course was perfect for setting the high standard expected. Having never worked in a hospital environment, I felt that by the end of the course, I had a good grasp of the major concepts of in-hospital ALS. I genuinely enjoyed the course and would recommend it to anyone within healthcare, especially my paramedic colleagues who would like to understand more about the in-hospital process of ALS.

Johnathan Williams, Paramedic
I was recommended ALS as a course provider by a colleague, and was not disappointed. The course was incredibly well organised beforehand and on the day. There was a high quality, numerous and enthusiastic educational faculty. It was a long and challenging day, but very rewarding and indeed fun. I would myself now recommend ALS to anyone looking to obtain certificates from RCUK
Craig Mclean, Advanced Paramedic, EEAST

I recently attended the ALS course at the Academy of Life Support. The venue was excellent and the course was very organised from the moment you arrived till the end. Food and refreshments were perfect. The faculty was very approachable , knowledgeable and tried their best to help everyone. One of the best courses I ever attended. I recommend this course to everyone.

Mohamed Barakat, ST3, EM

I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the team and directors at the Academy of Life Support, who allowed me to appear for the exam. Your support made a significant difference, especially considering how worried I was before the test.
 The ALS course you are conducting is outstanding compared to others. The way everyone teaches, the quality of the equipment, and the overall everything is exceptional.

Muhammed Bux, NHS

I just wanted to say what a great day it was. The trainers were so knowledgable. The course has provided me with so much more confidence to carry out my role as a paramedic. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend this course to colleagues. Thank you.
