Oxygen Therapy

clock 3 hours Times

Oxygen Therapy - Course Overview

This half-day training introduces participants to the safe use of oxygen therapy in emergency situations, helping build confidence in supporting a casualty when breathing is compromised.

The session covers how breathing works, when oxygen therapy should be used (and when it shouldn’t), different types of face masks, and how to safely store, assemble, and use oxygen equipment. Participants also learn when treatment should be stopped, giving a clear understanding of how to respond calmly and appropriately when oxygen therapy is required.

 

Who Is This Course For?

This training is suitable for anyone who may need to administer oxygen as part of their role, including workplace first aiders and care staff. It is particularly helpful for organisations that already have oxygen equipment on site and want staff to feel confident using it safely.

The course also works well alongside other first aid training such as Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and Basic Life Support including CPR (BLS), supporting a wider understanding of emergency care.

    Glenn was a very knowledgeable & competent trainer. He was friendly & explained everything to a level to suit all present. He coped with all the unusual questions & scenarios which we have come across excellently. I would highly recommend him as a trainer for groups of all abilities & feel he should be commended for his hard work.

    Trainer made the subjects easy to follow and explained things very well. Brian made everyone feel at ease so doing the practicals was more relaxed and easy to follow. I felt the assessments throughout were thorough but not intimidating.

    I just wanted to reiterate how good the trainer was. All the staff came in to see me afterwards and said it was the best First Aid course they had attended. One of the main positives was that he made it specific to their jobs and environment. Also, the blended sessions seemed to work really well. Kind regards Karen
