This page is for those who have attended a Basic Life Support course and who wish to be reminded of some of the key, life-saving, points that were taught.
These short videos are NOT a substitute for attending a full two-hour course which includes more in-depth information, the opportunity to ask questions and, of course, the ESSENTIAL opportunity to practise CPR.
Please click on the chosen video(s) to see extracts from one of our courses with our tutor, Mike Bennett, who is the Lead Resuscitation Officer for Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
