CPR - Level HCP (Health Care Provider)

Red Cross CPR Level HCP was discontinued in Canada on March 31 2019.

People who previously took CPR Level HCP now have the choice of taking CPR level C or BLS (Basic Life Support).

AED stands for Automated External Defibrillator

HCP = Health Care Provider.

BLS training supersedes CPR HCP training. The introduction of BLS means CPR HCP is no longer needed – audiences who previously requested the CPR HCP Course will either take CPR C or BLS training depending on the skills needed.

Red Cross BLS (Basic Life Support) was introduced in Canada in early 2019. BLS is focused on high performance resuscitation and professional skills and does not provide prevention education and address other first aid components as was the case in the (now discontinued) Red Cross CPR Level HCP curriculum.
