Important Notice: BLS Session Booking Required
All BLS (Basic Life Support) sessions must now be booked in advance due to limited capacity. Some sessions have only 6 spaces, others up to 12 — spaces are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
You must have a confirmed booking to attend.
If you arrive without a booking, you will be turned away.
⚠️ Important Booking Policy:
- If you cannot attend, your appointment can be rescheduled — but you must give notice in advance.
-
If you miss your booked session without notice, this may affect your ability to reschedule another appointment.
-
Lateness will not be tolerated — if you arrive late without a valid reason, the resuscitation practitioner reserves the right to turn you away.
-
Please only book a date you are certain you can attend.
Thank you for your cooperation.
