BLS Booth at World Radiography Day
Date: 11 November 2025
Category: Community Engagement | Staff Awareness
The Integrated Clinical Simulation Centre (i‑CSC) participated in the World Radiography Day celebration by conducting a Basic Life Support (BLS) awareness and hands‑on training booth for staff and visitors. This engagement aimed to strengthen emergency preparedness among radiographers, clinical support teams, and the wider community who attended the event.
The booth focused on equipping participants with essential lifesaving skills through interactive demonstration and guided practice sessions. High‑fidelity adult and infant manikins were used to simulate realistic CPR and choking scenarios, enabling participants to practise proper techniques and receive immediate feedback.
Target Participants
- Radiographers and medical imaging staff
- HPUSM and hospital clinical personnel
- Non‑clinical staff involved in patient care pathways
- Community members who visited the World Radiography Day celebration
Key training components included:
- Early recognition of cardiac arrest
- Hands‑on practice of high‑quality adult and infant CPR
- Proper use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs)
- Choking management techniques (adult and infant)
- Importance of bystander intervention
Facilitators from i‑CSC provided structured coaching throughout the session, ensuring that all participants — regardless of clinical background — gained confidence in performing basic life‑saving skills. This activity complemented the objectives of World Radiography Day by promoting patient safety awareness and encouraging multidisciplinary readiness in emergency situations.
Through this BLS booth, i‑CSC continues to support hospital initiatives and community outreach by advocating for simulation‑based learning and improving public confidence in emergency responses.
