Introduction
BrisDoc Healthcare Services expects all staff (co-owners) in its Integrated Urgent Care Service and Practice Services to be up to date with mandatory training in Basic Life Support. This encompasses cardiopulmonary resuscitation, defibrillation, and the management of choking for adults, paediatrics, and new-born patients. BrisDoc does not expect clinicians to have advanced life support training and skills.
BrisDoc recognises that there is the potential for patients attending one of its services to collapse requiring emergency support. This may be in a consulting room, a waiting/reception area or immediately outside the vicinity of the premises in use by BrisDoc. It may be that BrisDoc clinicians are requested to support the collapse of a person in Boots or The Galleries in Broadmead Shopping Centre, and in the vicinity of the Compass Centre.
