Our Trainers
ABC Life Support prides itself on delivering interactive, accessible, and impactful training in all our training courses.
Each one of our trainers is invited into the ABC Life Support family after speaking to Danielle to make sure that there is a synergy in terms of shared values and that the style of training delivery is exactly what we are looking for.
Our trainers are all freelance with years of face-to-face delivery under their belt as well as experience of front-line medical interventions including nurses and paramedics. We use freelance trainers to allow us to deliver across the UK and to make sure that we are all delivering to the same standard we use the resources and training methodologies which are based on recommendations from The UK Resuscitation Council, the HSE (Health & Safety Executive) and the First Aid Quality Partnership.
