First aiders who hold a valid First Aid at Work certificate are strongly advised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to undertake Annual Skills Update training to maintain basic skills and to keep up to date with any changes.

This course revisits the basics to top-up the skills of first aiders, providing them with the opportunity to practice and update their knowledge, build expertise and confidence, as well as refreshing practical skills.

A CPR course could mean the difference between life and death. The course lasts for one hour and teaches basic life-support skills to enable you to give life-saving support until an ambulance arrives. This course is ideally suited for anyone needing CPR training, from members of the public to medical professionals.

You can combine this course with Automated External Defibrillator (AED) familarisation. A cardiac arrest can happen to anyone at any time but it’s possible to survive and recover if you get the right treatment quickly. Having a defibrillator in your workplace, and knowing how to use it, can dramatically increase the chances of survival if someone’s heart stops beating - but it must be used promptly. For every one minute delay in delivering the shock, survival reduces by up to 10%.

If you are an organisation, employer or individual who has an AED on your premises and would like to improve lifesaving first aid skills in your community, this course will help you to develop the appropriate skills to make a difference.

You can also purchase AEDs from North East Ambulance Service. Please contact us for further information.

Sepsis is a rare life-threatening condition that can develop rapidly from what might be otherwise innocuous infections. There are an estimated 123,000 cases of sepsis per year in England, and around 36,800 associated deaths. In many cases however, sepsis is avoidable and treatable and early identification is key to successfully treating sepsis.

On this course delegates are given an overview of the condition and taught the skills to help identify the early stages of sepsis, the groups at higher risk, the signs and symptoms, and the actions necessary to secure early treatment.

This course is particularly suited for health and social care staff working in the community, care homes, within healthcare providers and those working with children and young adults from nursery to university.
