4 Day Clinical Skills
4 Day Clinical Skills is structured, hands-on training for nurses and senior clinical staff, delivered on-site by our experienced clinical trainers.
Why this training matters
Fewer than one in 12 people (7.8%) survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in England — and although bystanders start CPR in over 70% of cases, prompt, confident clinical skills save lives.
