The UK Resus Council have confirmed that their ‘Pandemic Protocols’ are not to be considered temporary and we are to treat them as the new norm. This means that a leaner only has to demonstrate effective chest compression to demonstrate competence.
The group size is now an increasingly important factor as distancing still needs to be observed on any course. We are minded to cap any course to 12 unless the room size permits otherwise.
Whilst Coronavirus is currently in the news, First Emergence Ltd would like to confirm that we are operating as usual.
We would like to confirm that all our equipment is sanitised after each course and cleaned after each person has used any of our training equipment.
In order to meet the requirements for CPR, a learner has always been required to demonstrate Effective Chest Compressions and Rescue Breaths. This has not changed. If any learner want to supply and use a barrier device such as a face shield or pocked mask, this is fine with us.

From the 1st April 2020, we shall be changing our booking policy. Over the past year we have had several occurrences where a customer has cancelled on the day and is then refusing to pay the invoice. As a business, a training event carries costs whether the training is completed or not.
Our terms are that we will cancel a booking with no fee with minimum 14 days notice. We will reschedule a booking with no fee with minimum 7 days notice. Else, full amount payable. This has been in place since 2015 and compared to a lot of other companies, extremely generous.
From the 1st April 2020, all bookings taken will be provisional until the invoice is paid.
We have had a couple of people recently commenting that they are struggling to contact us. Please note that we do not maintain a staffed office. We only employ delivery staff who complete their own administration. If you have any queries that are not answered on the website, please email and you’ll get a reply within 24 hours.

Regarding the sad death in October 2016, we can confirm that our Schools First Aid course covers Anaphylaxis and use of Auto-injectors / Adrenaline.
From September 2017, schools can now purchase ‘Spare’ Auto-Injectors without a prescription. Full guidance from the gov.uk website.
There is a proposed competency framework by the intercollegiate group who decide and implement the Safeguarding frameworks. At present this framework is still up for consultation and has not yet been approved. This said, it does appear that a number of regions are using the framework for training.
First Emergence Ltd are pleased to confirm that our materials meet the requirements for Adult Level 3 Safeguarding so are now advertising our Level 3 Safeguarding course as Children and Adults.
Details are on the Safeguarding page of the website.
