The RACGP recognises that CPR skills are used infrequently and will thus diminish over time. As administrative staff may be present during a medical emergency, they need to be trained in CPR to assist the medical team.
CPR training that is solely online does not meet the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) requirements for the physical demonstration of skills by trainees at the completion of the CPR course.
The RACGP and ARC recommend general practice professionals should complete CPR training annually. At the very least, the RACGP Standards recommend undertaking a refresher in CPR competence every three years.
