Healthcare Training
Practical first aid, BLS and ILS for Medical-Emergency training for healthcare professionals and clinical teams.
Healthcare professionals need more than theoretical knowledge. Our training is practical, supportive and designed to help clinical teams recognise emergencies, respond effectively and maintain the skills needed to care for their patients.

Our course-selection guide compares the different BLS options and explains what each course covers, helping you choose the most appropriate level of training.
BLS Refresher or Comprehensive Medical-Emergency Training?
BLS & Resuscitation Training
Our BLS courses focus on maintaining practical emergency skills, including CPR, AED use, choking, airway management and, where appropriate, resuscitation of adults, children and infants and management of anaphylaxis.
They are designed as focused, practical refresher sessions for healthcare professionals and clinical teams.
ILS for Medical Emergencies in Clinical Practice
If you want to go beyond BLS, our one-day Medical Emergencies course provides time to develop a broader understanding of clinical emergencies.
The course includes structured patient assessment, clinical decision-making, practical emergency skills, team leadership, communication, escalation and realistic, evolving scenarios.
Training for Different Healthcare Settings
General Practice & Primary Care
Practical emergency training for GPs, practice nurses, healthcare assistants and wider primary-care teams.
Training can focus on maintaining BLS competence or develop broader skills for recognising and managing a deteriorating patient.
Dental Practices
Dental teams need to be prepared for medical emergencies that can occur before, during or after treatment.
We provide BLS, anaphylaxis and comprehensive medical-emergency training for dentists, dental nurses and other dental professionals.
Physiotherapy & Allied Health
Physiotherapists and other AHPs may encounter patients who become unexpectedly unwell during assessment or treatment.
Our clinical BLS and medical-emergency courses provide practical training that can be matched to the clinical environment and patient population.
Other Clinical Settings
We also work with healthcare teams in clinics, rehabilitation, aesthetics, care settings and other environments where staff may need to recognise and respond to a deteriorating patient.
If you're unsure which course is appropriate, contact us to discuss your requirements.
In-House Healthcare Training
Bring the training to your team
In-house training allows your team to train together in the environment where they actually work.
Where appropriate, we can adapt scenarios and discussion to your clinical setting, patient population, equipment and existing emergency procedures.
In-house training can help you:
Train your team together
Practise practical skills with the equipment available in your clinical environment
Explore realistic scenarios relevant to your patients
Develop communication, teamwork and role allocation
Identify opportunities to improve your emergency response
Courses can be delivered for individual clinical teams or larger organisations, depending on the course.
Prefer to Attend as an Individual?
Selected healthcare courses are available as scheduled training in Mayfair, London.
This can be a convenient option for individuals, smaller teams or healthcare professionals who do not need an in-house course.
Why Simply First Aid?
We believe first aid and emergency training should develop more than the ability to remember a sequence of steps.
Our courses are practical, supportive and designed to help people understand what they are seeing, make appropriate decisions and respond calmly when something goes wrong.
We focus on doing important things well, calmly and with care.
Training is delivered by experienced instructors and combines practical skills with discussion, scenarios and reflection appropriate to the course.
