Oxygen therapy is up to 6 times more likely to save someone’s life than mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. You don’t need to be a healthcare professional to administer it. For the first time, your employees can extend their existing CPR skills by completing our short, straightforward 3-hour Airway Management and Oxygen Therapy course which will teach you basic airway management.
Our Airway Management and Oxygen Therapy course is suitable for a workplace first aider who has a 3-year first aid qualification, as well as other healthcare professionals who may need to deliver oxygen therapy to a casualty in an emergency first aid scenario.
Delegates are continually assessed by our highly experienced St John Ambulance Cymru trainers. This will be done through practical demonstrations, hands-on practice with the relevant equipment, and ad-hoc question and answer sessions.
On completion of the course successful delegates will receive a St John Ambulance Cymru certificate, valid for 1 year.
