Immediate Life Support

Immediate Life Support was developed by Resuscitation Council UK for healthcare professionals who may have to act as the first responder in an emergency, giving them the skills to manage patients in cardiac arrest before a cardiac arrest team arrives.

An ILS course provides a variety of skills, from managing a deteriorating patient, identifying causes and treating cardiac arrest, to improving abilities as both a team member and leader.

The Course

ILS certification is recognized across the UK, the EU and Australia.

During the one-day course, you will develop the skills to:

recognize 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;
utilize non-technical skills to facilitate team leadership and effective team membership.

Private courses are available anywhere in the UK.
