LIFE SUPPORT PROGRAMS
DESCRIPTION:
The Life Support program at Tawam Hospital was established with the goal of supporting the requirements of life support training for the Resuscitation team.
According to the current standards and requirements, “the provision of an effective resuscitation service for victims of cardiopulmonary arrest must be an operational priority within every hospital and the adequate performance of such a service has wide ranging implications with respect to training, standards of care, risk management and clinical governance. Hospitals have a duty of care to provide an effective resuscitation service and to ensure that all staff are trained appropriately and regularly updated to a level compatible with their expected degree of competence.” (UK Resuscitation Council, Guideline for Clinical Practice and Training in Hospitals). This standard validates the need for an organized life support program at Tawam Hospital.
Life support courses as listed below are offered mainly to Tawam JH staff but other interested parties may be considered on a case by case basis
CRITERIA :
All Life Support courses are aimed at health care professionals and clinical staff who are members of the Code team and other areas which necessitate special resuscitation skills. (see course for specific-criteria and pre-requisites)
