What you will learn on this course

Medical oxygen is a vital part of the treatment process of emergency casualties, but not a routine part of first aid. This training course complies with the Health and Safety Executive’s outline of additional training to enhance the first aid needs assessment, should a scenario call for it. Please note: this training course does not allow the learner use, administer, prescribe or train others to use medical oxygen, as it fulfils the criteria of a prescription drug under the Medicines Act 1968.

Once you have completed the course, you will know:

The Law and regulations surrounding oxygen and first aid
Why the casualty requires more oxygen during an emergency
The benefits of using medical oxygen in scenarios like cardiac arrest, severe bleeding, shock etc
The dangers of incorrect oxygen use
The permissions required to use and administer medical oxygen

Every training course we teach here at Vital Workplace Training is personalised and expertly planned to maximise learning.
