HALO Physiotherapy is expanding its healthcare education services with the launch of its new Accredited Basic Life Support (BLS) Course, designed to equip healthcare professionals, workplace teams and members of the public with the practical skills and confidence to respond in a medical emergency.

The three-hour accredited course combines expert instruction with hands-on practical training, ensuring participants leave with the knowledge to act quickly and effectively when every second counts.

The training covers the essential principles of Basic Life Support, including assessing an emergency safely, recognising when someone is unresponsive, carrying out a primary assessment using the ABC approach, placing a casualty into the recovery position, performing effective adult CPR and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).

Participants will also learn when and how to contact the emergency services and understand the critical importance of early intervention during cardiac arrest.

The course is suitable for a wide range of people, including healthcare professionals, care home and domiciliary care staff, dental and GP practice teams, fitness instructors, sports coaches, teachers, childcare providers, workplace first aiders and anyone who wants to gain essential life-saving skills.

Delivered by experienced instructors, the course offers accredited, practical training in small groups to maximise individual support and confidence. Participants will receive certification on successful completion, where applicable.

Upcoming course dates:

• Tuesday 12 August – 9.30am to 12.30pm
• Tuesday 2 September – 9.30am to 12.30pm

Both courses will be held at HALO Physiotherapy, Camden House, Warwick Road.

Paul Godfrey, Chartered Manipulative Physiotherapist, Physiologist and First Aid Instructor at Halo Physiotherapy, said: "In a medical emergency, those first few minutes can make all the difference.

"Our Basic Life Support course gives people the knowledge, practical skills and confidence to act quickly and effectively until the emergency services arrive. Whether you work in healthcare, education, sport or simply want to be prepared, these are skills that everyone should have."

As Halo Physiotherapy continues to expand its range of healthcare and community services, the introduction of accredited Basic Life Support training reflects the clinic's commitment to improving health, wellbeing and resilience across the local community.

Places are limited to ensure every participant receives personalised instruction and plenty of practical experience.
