About the Course
Emergency Life Support Team, share the same beliefs as the Resuscitation Council UK and British Heart Foundation, that everyone should learn the skills to save a life and that schools, in particular, offer the perfect environment to do this.
In the UK, out of hospital cardiac arrest survival rates, currently fluctuates between 8 and 9 % compared to 25% in Norway. With the bystander rate administering CPR, just below 50% compared to 75% in Norway. The main reason for this is that in Norway, students have been receiving CPR training in schools since the 1960’s.
With every minute that lapses between someone entering cardiac arrest to administering defibrillation, decreases the chances of survival by up to 10%. Delivering effective CPR, can potentially increase the survival rate by double, buying the patient important time for them to be treated further.
With this in mind, the Emergency Life Support Team (ELST) have recently developed alternative types of CPR training for students within schools. All instructors are ex or retired members of the Emergency Services with many years of front line experience between them.
Courses also include, who are the emergency services, how do we contact them and what information do we need to pass on.
CPR training will also include basic defibrillation training for key stage 2 and above as well as instruction on placing someone in the recovery position.
We can offer two types of learning approaches within schools.
- Train all classes independently in the essential life saving skills
- Use peer training method, where we will train one class who then pass on their skills to another class and cascade that down through the year groups. All sessions will be suppoted by one of our instructors.
All students upon completion will receive a certificate of achievement at the end of the day which will also include an Emergency Service career talk, for budding Police Officers, Firefighters, Paramedics, Nurses and Doctors.

“We are keen to give our pupils opportunities to learn life skills that will stand them in good stead for the future. I am sure that the training our pupils received will inspire some of them to look at this area as a possible career. Their engagement and enthusiasm was amazing. The fact that they became the teachers was one of the aspects we were keen to enable in this course. It showed the level of learning that had taken place and will undoubtedly be used in our community.”
