Basic Life Support - Online Training Course - Level 2 - CPDUK Accredited.
Welcome to our online Basic Life Support – Level 2 training course for front-line healthcare and social care providers (including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) algorithms). All our online training courses, programmes and qualifications are accredited by the CPD Certification Service (CPDUK).
It is a common expectation that healthcare and social care staff will have sufficient knowledge and skills to be able to recognise and respond to signs of clinical deterioration.
Where healthcare staff can anticipate, identify and respond to patient signs of clinical deterioration, they can prevent further decline that might otherwise culminate in cardio-respiratory arrest. Consequently, there has been a particular focus on promoting greater awareness and understanding of the needs and care of the deteriorating patient.

Course aims and objectives
The aims and objectives of this online Basic Life Support – Level 2 training course are to:
- To provide the learner with a clear understanding of the legislation regarding adult basic life support,
- Provide the learner with a full understanding of the current Resuscitation Council (UK) guidance for adult basic life support,
- To inform learners how to give essential CPR to individuals,
- To help learners understand the risks surrounding CPR, and
- To provide crucial adult basic life support training resources in an engaging and meaningful way.
Learning outcomes
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation 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 course. 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.
Why is this Basic Life Support – Level 2 course important?
It is important to understand that the objective of providing basic life support is not to ‘treat’ the person but to buy some valuable time until the emergency medical aid arrives. BLS procedure is mainly used on people experiencing cardiac arrest or respiratory failure.
It is essential for those working in healthcare and social care environments to complete appropriate resuscitation training in line with their roles.
This online Basic Life Support – Level 2 course was developed to meet the required learning outcomes in the Skills for Health’s UK Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF) and Care Quality Commission (CQC) recommendations for health and social care providers.
