ILS was launched in 2002 as there was a demand from healthcare professionals to
know the skills needed to respond in an emergency. It is now the most popular
Resuscitation Council UK course, and around 100,000 people are trained in ILS
every year.
ILS certification is recognised across the UK, the EU and Australia.
During the one-day course, you will develop the skills to:
* recognise and treat the deteriorating patient using the ABCDE approach;
* identify the causes and promote the prevention of cardiopulmonary arrest;
* undertake the skills of quality CPR and defibrillation (manual and /or AED)
and simple airway manoeuvres;
* utilise non-technical skills to facilitate team leadership and effective team
membership.
