The healthcare system must adapt to address new demands and deliver services as the climate evolves. Every individual relies on the healthcare industry for their physical and financial well-being. Healthcare practitioners play a key part in enacting and implementing legislation, as well as keeping the operation running smoothly. If you are a passionate healthcare worker, trying to help patients in need and thus making a huge difference in their lives by doing so, then this contest is for you to shine and speak about your thoughts and experiences.
CPR Certification Institute provides CPR/AED, First Aid, Bloodborne Infections, Pediatric CPR, and Babysitting certification and recertification courses online. In just 1-2 hours, you will finish your courses entirely online. After passing your final test, you can automatically receive a PDF printable copy of your qualification card. CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) is a procedure for keeping people alive and preventing brain injury before more sophisticated medical help arrives. CPR’s aim is to maintain oxygen in and out of the lungs, as well as oxygenated blood circulating across the body. With this in mind and with the aim of helping a vast majority of the students entering the field of medicine and healthcare workers already invested in the field to meet their career goals, the organisation has rolled out this initiative.
