When a medical emergency strikes, every second counts. Having staff who are confident and competent in Immediate Life Support (ILS) can mean the difference between life and death. At Specialised Training UK, our ILS courses are designed to refresh and expand on the vital skills needed to manage critical incidents until advanced help arrives.
The course is an expert blend of theory and hands-on practice, ensuring delegates not only understand the principles but also feel confident applying them in real-life scenarios.
Building on Basic Life Support (BLS), the ILS programme introduces:
- Advanced airway management techniques
- ECG recognition skills
- Safe and rapid defibrillation, using an AED or manual defibrillator
Delegates also learn how to assess an unwell patient, understand the causes and prevention of cardiac arrest, and work effectively as part of a cardiac arrest team. All training follows the latest Resuscitation Council UK guidelines and includes access to course manuals and online resources for preparation and post-course development.
Did you know that around 30,000 people suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the UK each year, but survival rates are currently less than one in ten? Immediate Life Support training equips healthcare and frontline staff with the tools to change those outcomes.
Who should take ILS training?
While dentists are one example, ILS training is invaluable for a wide range of healthcare and care professionals, including:
- Doctors and medical students
- Nurses and nursing students
- Midwives
- Paramedics and student paramedics
- Physiotherapists
- Care home staff
- Dentistry professionals
- Allied health and social care workers
- First responders
- Frec 4 (First Response Emergency Care)
Anyone responsible for patient or service-user safety can benefit from this training, ensuring they are prepared to act quickly and confidently in a crisis. Delegates who successfully complete the course receive an ILS certificate, valid for one year, alongside valuable CPD hours — helping them meet both professional and regulatory requirements
