Basic CPR - Refresher Session
We come to you for this training!
This session will refresh the knowledge of qualified vets and nurses, so they are confident to deliver high-quality CPR. In this course, participants will learn about the latest recommendations for performing high-quality basic life support, including the approach to rapid diagnosis of arrest, how to tailor chest compressions to individual patients to maximise blood flow, and the different options for ventilation during CPR.
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
Use the RECOVER Initial Assessment Algorithm, to rapidly determine if an unresponsive patient is in cardiopulmonary arrest.
Demonstrate correct technique for chest compressions in dogs and cats of various sizes and chest conformations to maximise blood flow during CPR.
Explain the approaches to ventilation during CPR in dogs and cats and the pros and cons of each.
Group sizes of 3-6 recommended

This session typically runs for 2-3 hours
N.B This is a standalone CPR training session and is not part of the RECOVER training and assessment programme.
Become a RECOVER Certified Rescuer
The in-person RECOVER Certification workshop in BLS and ALS is a hands-on workshop composed of a review of key concepts and practical training using simulated scenarios of performing BLS and ALS. The training is approximately 7-8 hours long with practical assessments the participants must pass to obtain certification as a RECOVER Certified BLS and ALS Rescuer®.
Learning Objectives
Rapidly recognise patients with cardiopulmonary arrest
Properly administer high-quality chest compressions using the most up-to-date approaches in dogs and cats
Provide mask or intubated ventilation according to current evidence-based guidelines
Utilise effective communication and team skills that will improve your ability to manage emergent and critically ill patients
Choose the most useful monitoring devices for patients in cardiopulmonary arrest and interpret data from them
Rapidly diagnose the arrest ECG rhythm to determine the best ALS therapies for the patient
Administer the most effective drugs and other adjunctive therapies for patients with cardiopulmonary arrest
Candidates should allow themselves 6 - 8 weeks to complete the online portion of the course. This must be completed before the conference workshop.
COST: £250.00 per person and includes certification and registration on to the RECOVER Rescuer database.
If you are looking to train your team members in CPR, this is the perfect course for you.
No prior teaching experience is necessary, as this course will equip you with all the skills needed to conduct an engaging and effective CPR session.
We understand that starting team training can feel overwhelming at times. This course focuses on building your confidence and ensuring you feel comfortable leading the training.
The 1-2-1 training session typically lasts four hours. The first half focuses on teaching how to deliver sessions effectively, while the second half supports the trainer as they lead their team's first CPR training. To ensure this works effectively, it is recommended that at least two members of your team are available to act as 'students' during this coaching session.
All necessary training materials will be provided on the day, including mannequins, ET tubes, and scenario checklists.
Although it is not a prerequisite for the course, it is highly recommended that participants complete their Recover BLS and ALS online training before registering for this training.
