Are we spending instructor hours where they really make a difference in BLS training?

In lots of programmes, teachers are still tied up in repetitive testing and routine skills checks. With the right tech, those tasks can be standardised, tracked, and learner-led.

That lets educators concentrate on what truly matters: clinical judgement, tailored feedback, and boosting performance in real clinical settings.

This isn’t only about doing things faster - it’s about ensuring consistency, enabling scale, and sustaining competence over time.

One hospital has already moved away from instructor-led BLS assessments.

So what does that mean for the quality of training? R

Most people who witness a cardiac arrest don't step in. It's not from lack of concern, but because they've never been trained.

The CPR Kiosk brings life-saving skills to the places people already go.

No instructor. No booking. Just 90 seconds that could save a life.

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is expanding its newborn resuscitation training to include paramedics from the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust.

For more than a decade, the hospital has run the Resuscitation Council UK Newborn Life Support course on site, and now that expertise is being shared beyond its walls.

The reason is clear: newborn emergencies can occur anywhere, not only in a hospital.

When a paramedic attends a call in the community, the standard of their training shapes the care a baby receives before reaching specialist services.

April is Stress Awareness Month.

If you lead CPR courses or oversee training, stress is part of the job. Preparing others for critical incidents doesn’t stop when you leave the classroom.

But there are practical ways to ease that load:

📘 Give your sessions a clear framework. Well-defined aims reduce ambiguity for both you and your learners; when everyone knows the goals, the day flows more smoothly.

💬 Rely on objective feedback. Data-driven tools take the sting out of subjective judgement. Measurable performance makes debriefs calmer and more constructive.

⏰️ Schedule frequent practice. Short, regular refreshers build real competence — and confidence; for trainees and trainers alike, reducing pressure from once-a-year high-stakes checks.

📈 Reflect on your practice. Self-debriefing after a session is as valuable as feedback for delegates. What went well? What could be tweaked? Small, steady changes smooth the process over time.

🤝 Stay connected with colleagues. Resuscitation training can feel isolating; that’s why networks like the Resuscitation Council UK exist; reach out and share experiences.

This April, take a moment to check in with your own wellbeing. The people you prepare rely on you being steady and well.

When Thierry Doucet, a nurse anaesthetist at Hôpital Riviera-Chablais in Vaud‑Valais with 20 years’ experience, walked by the Brayden Baby manikin at a past ERC Congress, he thought, “How hard can it be?”

Three months on, he was called to assist with a neonatal resuscitation.

The baby lay pale and unresponsive, and Thierry stepped in. Within two minutes the infant had turned pink - effective ventilation had been delivered and perfusion restored.

What made the difference? Technique, sharpened on a Brayden Baby manikin months earlier.

When Thierry Doucet, nurse anaesthetist at Hôpital Riviera-Chablais, walked past the Brayden Baby manikin at a previous ERC - European Resuscitation Council Congress, he thought: "How hard can it be?"

Three months on, he was summoned to help with a newborn needing resuscitation.

The infant lay pale and unresponsive. Thierry intervened.

In under two minutes, the baby had regained a healthy colour. Adequate ventilation had been delivered and circulation restored.

What changed the outcome?

His technique, honed months earlier on the Brayden Baby manikin.

This year for World Health Day, the World Health Organization (WHO) is urging global action for Universal Health Coverage; quality care for everyone, everywhere.

But universal care is only as effective as the people delivering it.

When cardiac arrest occurs in a rural clinic or an under-resourced ward, the result often depends on the clinician in the room and the training they received long before that moment.

That training needs to be consistent, broadly accessible, and grounded in real performance, not just theory or a single certification.

The Brayden range of manikins is designed to support this, offering clear visual feedback so learners can practise effectively, build confidence, and improve CPR quality wherever training takes place.

Better training. Better outcomes. Everywhere.

A new partnership between the Resuscitation Council UK and Bauer Media Group is working to help save more lives by increasing awareness of CPR, tackling inequalities in cardiac arrest survival and expanding access to defibrillators across the UK.

Using outdoor advertising, magazines, and radio, the initiative is placing defibrillators in everyday locations and supporting them with QR codes linking directly to CPR guidance.

The campaign also focuses on addressing inequality by bringing lifesaving equipment and knowledge into communities where cardiac arrest survival rates are lowest.

AED training should be more than a tick box exercise.

If we expect people to act confidently in a real cardiac emergency, training needs to be realistic, measurable and repeatable so learners can practise the skills that truly matter.

The Brayden AED Trainer has been designed to help raise that standard, supporting more effective AED and BLS training.
