You will learn basic anatomy, physiology, the differences between adults, children and infants relating to CPR, and the importance of the chain of survival. Also, conveying accurate details when handing the casualty over to emergency services, reviewing an incident to improve own skills and response times, recognising psychological impacts from the incident, and seeking help as required.
