BLS Course for Healthcare Providers
The Heart and Stroke Healthcare Provider BLS Course (formerly called HCP-C) is a 4 hour CPR course for healthcare providers who work with AHS , students doing their practical with AHS and any other healthcare provider requiring this course as a condition of their employment with the organization they work for. The Healthcare Provider BLS Course emphasizes high-quality CPR delivery using feedback device mannikins. On-going feedback is a motivator for improved performance and may improve resuscitation outcomes. A core component of all CPR courses is setting up and using an AED. AED application will be practiced along with the safe administration of a shock.
The goal of the BLS Provider Course for Healthcare Professionals is to perfect practice to improve survival outcomes: practice is performed in teams to facilitate the effective and efficient delivery of BLS skills. Included in this course is ventilating using a Bag-Valve-Mask which facilitates the safe administration of oxygen. Adult, child and infant skills are practiced based on curriculum expectations. The Heart and Stroke BLS Provider course is approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Alberta Health Services (AHS), follows ILCOR guidelines and as per the Heart and Stroke you must renew your certificate yearly.
