Resuscitation Services
The Resuscitation Service at Barts Health NHS Trust provides two distinct services – attendance at cardiac arrest calls and the delivery of resuscitation training to staff. Alongside this, they are responsible for providing advice on matters related to resuscitation and identifying clinical risks.
The resuscitation service is in place to provide clinical and educational expertise in all areas relating to resuscitation and works in accordance with guidelines developed by the Resuscitation Council UK (RCUK).
The Resuscitation Officers within the team are all healthcare professionals (nurses or paramedics) with a specialist interest in resuscitation procedures for adult and paediatric patients.
Their roles are both clinical and educational, with the clinical component, requiring them to attend resuscitation events and to provide clinical assistance and guidance. They also manage an audit process of all events where the resuscitation team has been called out within the Trust.
