Course Details

BLS + Anaphylaxis for Healthcare Professionals

Complete two essential emergency care courses in one practical, instructor-led training day. This combined programme includes American Heart Association (AHA) Basic Life Support (BLS) Provider training and face-to-face Anaphylaxis Management.

Course fee: €195 per person. Training takes place from 10:00 am to approximately 4:30 pm at ALSAA Sports Complex, near Dublin Airport.

Who Should Attend?

This course is designed for healthcare professionals and healthcare students who require initial or renewal BLS Provider training alongside practical Anaphylaxis Management. It is suitable for nurses, doctors, dentists, pharmacists and allied healthcare professionals.

Basic Life Support (BLS) Provider Training

The BLS component combines essential resuscitation knowledge with supervised practical training, teamwork and competency-based assessment, following the current American Heart Association BLS programme.

Topics include:

• Recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of the emergency response system.
• High-quality CPR for adults, children and infants.
• Effective chest compressions and rescue breathing.
• Safe and effective use of an automated external defibrillator (AED).
• Bag-mask ventilation and coordinated two-rescuer CPR.
• Recognition and management of choking.
• Team roles, communication and coordinated resuscitation.
• Practical skills assessment and instructor feedback.

Anaphylaxis Management

Following BLS training, participants undertake face-to-face Anaphylaxis Management training, focusing on early recognition, emergency treatment and safe administration of adrenaline.

Topics include:

• Distinguishing allergic reactions from anaphylaxis.
• Recognising life-threatening airway, breathing and circulation problems.
• Assessment, emergency management and escalation.
• Adrenaline indications, dose, route and safe administration.
• Practical use of adrenaline auto-injector trainers and relevant delivery devices.
• Preparation and administration of adrenaline within professional scope of practice.
• Reassessment, monitoring and structured clinical handover.
• Clinical scenarios, discussion and practical application.

Training incorporates relevant Irish clinical guidance, including the Immunisation Guidelines for Ireland and applicable PHECC guidance.

Certification

Following successful completion of the BLS course requirements and practical assessment, participants receive an official AHA BLS Provider eCard, valid for two years.

Participants also receive an Immediate Care Training Certificate of Attendance for Anaphylaxis Management. Anaphylaxis Management is a separate Immediate Care Training course and is not part of the AHA BLS certification.

Alternative: HeartCode BLS + Anaphylaxis

For participants who prefer flexible online learning before practical training, we also offer HeartCode BLS + Anaphylaxis at €245 per person.

This blended option includes self-paced AHA HeartCode BLS online learning, followed by instructor-led BLS practical training and face-to-face Anaphylaxis Management. Participants receive a separate online completion certificate and, following successful practical assessment, an AHA BLS Provider eCard.

HeartCode may be particularly useful for first-time learners and healthcare professionals preparing to work internationally where AHA BLS certification is requested by an employer.

The €245 package includes Anaphylaxis Management for €50 instead of its standalone €95 fee, representing a saving of €45 compared with booking the components separately.
