Basic Life Support and Mental Health Awareness

Click here for our public course dates

This 1-day course consists of a 3 hour Basic Life support course and a 3 hour Mental Health in the Workplace Awareness course with a short break in between. It’s suitable for small and medium size Businesses, especially those whose staff can experience moderate amounts of stress – Hospitality, telephone support and other client-facing roles, for instance.

Basic Life Support

This First Aid course is ideal for Organisations and groups wanting a basic First Aid course without the formality of a full First Aid at Work course. We can tailor some content to your needs. For Businesses that do not need a Workplace First Aider under HSE guidelines this will equip them with the basic skills needed in an emergency.

An optional Anaphylaxis Awareness module is available for an additional £100 + VAT. Allow an extra 15-30 minutes for this training. Those that attend will have the training added to their Certificate.

Mental Health in the Workplace Awareness

Anyone can be affected by a mental health condition either themselves or a family member, friend or colleague.

This awareness course is suitable for everyone as it provides learners with the knowledge to recognise a suspected mental health condition and the skills to start a conversation and be able to signpost a person towards professional help.

There is a small break in the morning and afternoon sessions and also for lunch in between.

Note that although 4 Minutes is a National Training Organisation, this course is only available in certain areas of the country as it required dual-skilled trainers to deliver both courses. Contact us to find out if it is available where you are.
