Another great event has occurred for us. We conducted a seminar to 1st year nursing students of St. Paul College.
The seminar was spearheaded by their energetic and dynamic human resource manager Mr. Francisco Grucen.

As an added topic, Basics of Firefigthing was also included during the afternoon session.

First Schedule For 2009- CHP Caregiving School

Center For Healthcare Professions Caregiving School Students

Our first schedule for 2009 is a lecture on First aid and Pro CPR to Center for Healthcare Professions (CHP) Caregiving Students.

The course started on January 5 2009. This is actually an evening class. A total of 13 participants joined the training. Most of them are working in different companies during the day. This is perhaps the reason why they toke the evening class.

The first day was devoted more on discussions on First aid and CPR and the remaining days were a mixture of discussion, return demonstration on CPR, Bandaging, Emergency Transportation and Splinting.

During the last day, the participants were evaluated on their performance. From the different aspects of first aid and CPR. They were also given a written exam to check if they have retained the knowledge during the discussion. Well, all the participants passed the course and I will soon be issuing their certificates and completion cards.

THIS YEAR WILL BE FUN!

This year will be fun and exciting for all of us. I am sure that it will open up more opportunities for all of us and of course more work. But don't you worry, I know that each of us are capable as we journey in the year 2009.

This year will be starting out with our ACLS course. This is a big step in the field of healthcare training considering that there are only two training centers in the Philippines who are currently accredited by the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) to conduct this course.

Each post for this journal will be posted in the most updated time possible and we will be having more features in this blog so that the participants will be able to interact.

Before going any further, I would like to acknowledge our instructors who have put their heart and have given out their best in conducting health and safety training with our training center, Basic Lifesaving Solutions.

The Basic Lifesaving Solutions Training Center is proud to have the following instructors:
