Abstract

This presentation focuses on the implementation of basic life support (BLS) for health and social care students. BLS is the first action taken to resuscitate a person who has become unresponsive. This interprofessional peer-teaching initiative used senior students from medicine, nursing and diagnostic radiography, from the University of Aberdeen and Robert Gordon University. These students taught undergraduate students from schools that currently have minimal BLS teaching; health sciences, pharmacy and life sciences, and applied social studies. Student teachers were trained in pairs to teach their skills to first- and second-year students, facilitated by academic staff from both universities.
