Course content
The primary focus of this course is life-saving.
- We want to show during the course that acting acutely in some life-threatening situations is of unimaginable importance. Therefore, we have chosen to cover common (life-threatening) conditions.
- The course is an alternation of theory and practice.
- Content is based on current guidelines used in the Emergency Department (ED) and/or general practice (NHG). Do these guidelines change? If so, we will adjust our course content as well.
- The course is adapted so that anyone without medical knowledge or prior training can participate.
