This online Resuscitation – Adult Basic Life Support – Level 1 training course is suitable for any clinical or non-clinical staff, dependent upon local risk assessment or work context.

On completion of this online Resuscitation – Adult Basic Life Support – Level 1 training course, the learner will:

• Be able to recognise a cardiorespiratory arrest,
• Know how to summon immediate emergency help following local protocols, and
• Be ready to start CPR using chest compressions.

Learning outcomes are divided into three levels based on knowledge, skills and understanding. The appropriate level of training is dependent upon an individual’s role, work context and a local risk assessment.

The levels given here are for the majority of staff who might need to be involved in delivering CPR. However, there are additional specialist levels of outcomes which need to be achieved for those who are expected to lead a resuscitation team, are resuscitation team members or teach resuscitation. These specialist outcomes are not covered in this framework. For further information about specialist outcomes, please see the Resuscitation Council (2015) Resuscitation Guidelines and the Quality Standards for Clinical Practice and Training.

Where staff are exposed to and involved in the care of patients from a range of age groups, they should receive the relevant type of resuscitation training.
