The Basic Life Support (BLS) training provided by The Health Guy through the National Health Society (NHS) is designed to teach individuals the essential skills needed to respond to life-threatening emergencies. This training includes:

• CPR Techniques: Participants will learn how to perform high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for adults, children, and infants, including chest compressions and rescue breaths.
• AED Use: Instruction on how to safely and effectively use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to shock a person in cardiac arrest and restore a normal heart rhythm.
• Choking Response: Training on how to assist individuals who are choking, using techniques such as the Heimlich maneuver to clear the airway.
• Recognition of Emergency Situations: Teaching participants how to recognize signs of a cardiac arrest, stroke, or respiratory distress and take immediate action.
• Teamwork in Emergencies: Emphasizing the importance of effective communication and teamwork when responding to medical emergencies.

The BLS course is designed to give individuals the confidence and knowledge to act quickly and efficiently in critical situations, potentially saving lives. Participants receive a certification upon successful completion, which is valid for two years. This training is ideal for healthcare providers, first responders, and anyone looking to be prepared to help in an emergency.
