I want more than a BLS refresher

Medical Emergencies in Clinical Practice — 7 hours

If you are looking for more comprehensive clinical emergency training rather than a focused BLS refresher, our one-day Medical Emergencies in Clinical Practice course goes further.

The course develops the skills needed to assess a deteriorating patient, recognise and respond to a range of medical emergencies, make appropriate clinical decisions, work effectively as a team and manage realistic, evolving scenarios.

It includes structured patient assessment, practical emergency skills, team leadership, escalation and reflective practice.

Choose this course if you:

• Want a deeper understanding of medical emergencies

• Need to develop clinical decision-making and team leadership

• Want realistic, evolving emergency scenarios

• Are reviewing or developing your practice's emergency response

• Want comprehensive emergency training rather than a BLS-only refresher

Which course is right for a dentist?

Adults plus anaphylaxis:
→ BLS & Management of Anaphylaxis in Clinical Practice

Adults, children and infants:
→ BLS for Adults, Children & Infants in Clinical Practice

Adults, children and infants plus anaphylaxis:
→ BLS & Management of Anaphylaxis for Adults, Children & Infants in Clinical Practice

Broader medical-emergency and clinical crisis training:

Our courses can be delivered in-house for clinical teams, with selected courses also available as scheduled courses in Mayfair, London.

Which course is right for a healthcare professional?

There is no single BLS course that is appropriate for every healthcare professional.

The most suitable training depends on your role, scope of practice, clinical environment, patient population and existing training requirements.

For example, a physiotherapist working predominantly with adults may choose BLS in Clinical Practice, while a healthcare professional who regularly treats children may benefit from the Adults, Children & Infants course.

If your employer, professional body or clinical service specifies particular training requirements, you should also ensure that the course you choose meets those requirements.

If you are unsure, contact us and we can help you identify the most appropriate course for your team.

Prefer to attend as an individual?

Selected courses are available as scheduled training in Mayfair, London, allowing individuals and smaller teams to join an open course rather than arranging an in-house session.

For larger clinical teams, all of our in-house courses can be tailored to your environment, equipment and learning needs.
