BLS Booth at Program Pink October HPUSM
Target Population: Medical Staff, Non‑Medical Staff & Community Members
Date: 7 October 2025
The Integrated Clinical Simulation Centre (i‑CSC) participated in Program Pink October HPUSM by operating a Basic Life Support (BLS) training booth to promote essential lifesaving skills among HPUSM staff and the surrounding community. This initiative aligned with HPUSM’s focus on early emergency response, workplace readiness, and public health awareness.
Throughout the event, the i‑CSC team conducted hands‑on BLS demonstrations and practice sessions covering:
- High‑quality CPR for adults and infants
- Choking management techniques
- AED application and safety
- Early recognition of cardiac arrest
Participants were able to practise on high‑fidelity adult and infant manikins, enabling realistic feedback on compression depth, rate, and technique.
Participants Included:
- Medical staff (clinical departments)
- Non‑medical staff (administrative, support & allied services)
- Community members who visited the Pink October event
This inclusive approach ensured that both HPUSM personnel and members of the public gained exposure to essential emergency response skills, contributing to a safer workplace and a better‑prepared community.
The i‑CSC team provided structured guidance and real‑time coaching, reinforcing correct CPR mechanics and safe AED use. The engagement also strengthened awareness of the importance of immediate bystander intervention in life‑threatening situations.
By supporting Program Pink October, i‑CSC continues its commitment to simulation‑based outreach, public safety education, and the empowerment of individuals with practical, lifesaving knowledge.
