Resuscitation Adult CSTF learning outcomes
Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation learning outcomes are divided into three levels based on knowledge, skills and understanding. The appropriate level of training is dependent upon an individual’s role, work context and a local risk assessment. The levels given here are for the majority of staff who might need to be involved in delivering CPR. However, there are additional specialist levels of outcomes that need to be achieved for those who are expected to lead a resuscitation team, are resuscitation team members or teach resuscitation.
These specialist outcomes are not covered in this course. For further information about specialist outcomes, please see the Resuscitation Council (2015) Resuscitation Guidelines and the Quality Standards for Clinical Practice and Training. Where staff is exposed to and involved in the care of patients from a range of age groups, they should receive the appropriate type of resuscitation training.
Principal learning outcomes – Adult BLS level 1
The learner will:
- be able to recognise a cardiorespiratory arrest
- know how to summon immediate emergency help following local protocols
- be ready to start CPR using chest compressions
Principal learning outcomes – Adult BLS level 2
Adult Basic Life Support (Level 1 outcomes plus the following), The learner, will:
- understand current legislation and local resuscitation policies and procedures
- know how to recognise and respond to patients with clinical deterioration, escalating care following local policy
- be able to initiate an appropriate emergency response, which may include management of choking, and the use of the recovery position, all per current Resuscitation Council (UK) guidelines
- be able to initiate and maintain effective chest compressions following current Resuscitation Council (UK) guidelines
- be able to provide essential airway management, i.e. ensure an open airway
- be able to initiate and maintain sufficient lung ventilation per current Resuscitation Council (UK) guidelines
- know how an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can be operated safely and appropriately
- understand their role and responsibilities in responding to persons in emergencies
- understand their responsibilities in reporting and recording details of an emergency event accurately
- understand the importance of undertaking any resuscitation interventions within the limits of their capabilities and context of any previous training received
- know how they should apply the local Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Policy within the clinical setting.

Why is Resuscitation Adult CSTF Training Essential?
It is a common expectation that healthcare and social care staff will have sufficient knowledge and skills to be able to recognise and respond to signs of clinical deterioration. Where healthcare staff can anticipate, identify and respond to patient signs of clinical deterioration, they can prevent further decline that might otherwise culminate in cardio-respiratory arrest. Consequently, there has been a particular focus on promoting greater awareness and understanding of the needs and care of the deteriorating patient.
While the priority is on preventing clinical deterioration, some patients’ condition will progress to cardio-respiratory arrest and require cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Early and adequate resuscitation can save lives. Research in emergency care of collapsed people has led to significant advances in resuscitation techniques. Healthcare organisations must have a clearly defined resuscitation policy and ensure that they provide an effective resuscitation response and service.
As part of their duty to ensure safe and effective care, healthcare organisations must ensure that their workforce receives the appropriate training, including periodic updates, to maintain a level of resuscitation competence relevant to their role. The requirements stated are minimum standards and apply to the majority of the workforce in roles and settings where they might be required to provide initial CPR until the arrival of advanced life support expertise and support.
What is the Skills for Health’ UK ‘Core Skills Training Framework’ (CSTF)?
There is increasing recognition that there are wide variations in the quality and consistency of healthcare training provided across the UK. To minimise these challenges, Advitam Learning works with various UK health and social care organisations to develop statutory and mandatory training courses in line with Skills for Health’s UK Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF).
This online basic life support course was developed in line with the CSTF learning outcomes.
