  8. What the coordinator does Orders materials add course to list Sends email for any help needed And receives post course documentation

  9. Course Delivery The standard two hour Heartstart UK course is divided into two stages. All elements in the course must be covered. This approach is intended to allow Heartstart UK schemes the necessary flexibility required to deliver the course using a variety of teaching methods, which may be necessary where there is time constraints, eg, when the course is delivered as part of a cardiac rehabilitation programme.

  10. Stage One The recommended time for stage one is a minimum of 85 minutes and consists of practical skills that are best learned using a “hands on” approach, eg, the recovery position and performing CPR. Therefore there should be maximum hands on practice. Instructors may use the “Skills For Life” DVD to support their training and consider the four staged approach to teaching.

  11. Stage Two Alternative delivery methods may be considered for stage two. Some of these are outlined below. If elements of stage two are delivered using the practical “hands on” approach the recommended minimum time is 35 minutes. However, elements in stage two can be delivered using a variety of teaching methods. This will depend on a number of factors including time constraints or where you are delivering the course over a number of units, eg, for adults with learning difficulties. Your Heartstart Coordinator will be able to advise you. Methods of delivery for stage two (not exclusive) 1. Conventional “hands on” training 2. Video/DVD led instruction with questions and answers 3. Demonstration and discussion 4. Discussion group 5. Information provided on a summary sheet or in a BHF publication (Order via Coordinator)
