Resuscitation Training

Liverpool University Foundation Hospital Trust: New Resuscitation Training Provision

Line Managers should pay particular attention to the staff training table below as there have been changes from what both sites have previously undertaken. Staff should always check ESR to see what level of Basic Life Support is attached to their profile. There should only be one level of Basic Life Support Training on any staff profile. If a discrepancy is found (i.e. addition / incorrect courses) please email Clinical.Education@Liverpoolft.nhs.uk
