Course structure:

- Day 2 will be delivered online over Zoom. This day will include a fair bit of theory, and is intended to educate whilst decreasing exposure to people who aren’t normally in your bubbles.
- Day 3 will be another day full of information and include lots more on-site practical teaching
Attendees will be able to use their own individual mannequins and their own individual training defibrillators, thus reducing transmission risk. Upon arrival to practical days 1 and 3 everyone will be provided with full Level 2 PPE (Gloves, Surgical face mask, Apron). 2 meters social distancing will also be maintained thorough out.
This course is designed to educate, whilst maintaining safe practices and increasing confidence as to how first aid should be delivered in these troubling times
