The Airway Management course is suitable for pre-hospital staff, care workers where Oxygen is available, first aiders and others working in high-risk environments.

From choking to more complicated airway obstruction, it is essential that clinicians and individuals operating in high-risk environments have a practical understanding of managing life-threatening situations.
