Extended Life Support

The Extended Life Support course is the next step for those who are competent in basic life support.  It is administered by the RLSS and covers everything up to, and including, the third link in the Chain of Survival.

The course is a four hour course, focusing on

• Resuscitation using a barrier device;

• Bag and mask resuscitation;

• Oxygen therapy;

• Automated External Defibrillators.

To attend a course, it is assumed that the candidate has a sound knowledge of basic life support and has certificated evidence.  The certificate must be of Life Support 3 standard as minimum.  If you do not currently have a sound knowledge of basic life support, the following awards may be of interest to you:

• Heartstart Weymouth - an ideal starting point for learning basic life support.

• Life Support awards - Life Support 3 is the pre-requisite for the Extended Life Support course.

• RYA First Aid - Looks at first aid as well as life support.

Other awards may be accepted as well.  Please direct any queries regarding pre-requisites to els@boscawenlifeguards.co.uk.
