Training Courses
EAAA aim to ensure any patients in East Anglia suffering an out of hospital cardiac arrest receive quality early CPR from the public and professionals to provide the best possible patient outcome.
The Chain of Survival
Early Access and Recognition
Being able to recognise someone is in cardiac arrest and calling 999 for an ambulance is the first step to helping them
Early CPR
Performing 30 chest compressions followed by two breaths can ensure oxygen reaches the brain until a defibrillator arrives
Early Defibrillation
Being confident in using a defibrillator to restart someone's heart is vital. For every minute that the patient is left without defibrillation, their chances of survival decrease by 10%
Early Advanced Care
The delivery of advanced emergency care by the doctors or critical care paramedics who arrive on scene
EAAA aim to ensure any patients in East Anglia suffering an out of hospital cardiac arrest receive quality early CPR from the public and professionals to provide the best possible patient outcome. We offer; Resuscitation Council UK standard Advanced and Immediate Life Support training for paramedics, doctors, nurses and other clinicians, and community CPR sessions teaching basic CPR and how to use a defibrillator for groups, suitable for ages 8 years+.
RCUK Professional courses
The e-ALS course is a hybrid mix of an initial package of e-Learning which is then consolidated with a practical one-day face-to-face session.
The ALS course is designed for healthcare professionals who need skills in advanced life support as part of their clinical duties, as well as those who teach these skills on a regular basis. This includes doctors, paramedics and nurses working in acute care areas (e.g. ED, CCU, ICU, HDU, operating theatres, acute medical admissions units) or on resuscitation/ medical emergency/ Critical Care Outreach teams.
EAAA became a recognised centre for running Advanced Life Support (ALS) courses in 2018. Our training has proved very popular with candidates providing very positive feedback.
Upcoming course dates:
- Thursday 21 September (course full)
- Thursday 23 November (course full)
Please check back for 2024 course dates - coming soon.

Community CPR sessions
Every year approximately 12,000 people suffer a cardiac arrest in the East of England. Only about 66% of those who suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest receive any form of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) before the arrival of the ambulance service, and less than 20% have a defibrillator (AED) deployed before emergency services arrive.
The out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rate in the UK is only around 8%; however, if a defibrillator is used alongside effective CPR within the first 3-5 minutes, the chances of survival can increase to between 40% - 70%. We are committed to training as many people as possible in CPR, and how to use a defibrillator so together we can save more lives.
Our Community CPR Volunteer and Trainer-led sessions will provide all attendees with Basic Life Saving skills. The course will equip you with the skills to recognise a cardiac arrest, effectively deliver CPR and confidently use a community defibrillator (AED).
Our established one-hour course can be delivered in your workplace, club, sports centre, school or village hall. We aim for group sizes of approximately 15 participants per session, but we can accommodate larger groups if required. These sessions are free of charge and directly impact patient outcomes and survival rates.
