Course materials
You will need to watch 1.5h of video material before the course.
You will receive a pdf of the book ‘When there is no doctor’ after the course.

During the course I use some improvised materials:
1. to give you the best hands on experience
2. so you know how to improvise when you don’t have the materials with you
3. because a resuscitation mannequin is not available to me in Portugal (see picture below)
