We have been a key training partner providing tailored training programmes to many private and public ambulance services, and universities throughout the UK for over 30 years.

This training was extremely successful and resulted in a 31% reduction in reported incidents relating to staff being abused, threatened, or assaulted at work in the subsequent two years.
Advanced Stroke Life Support (ASLS) − Online Stroke Training

Advanced Stroke Life Support (ASLS) − Online Stroke Training

Traditional Stroke Training (the FAST test) can miss up to 20% of strokes. Our ASLS training reduces the risk of that happening by teaching its learners how to conduct the MEND (Miami Emergency Neurological Deficit) exam confidently and correctly. This is typically conducted after the FAST test and reduces the chances of missing a stroke.

Our course was developed in conjunction with the University of Miami, and the NHS and our training certificates are endorsed by the UK Stroke Forum and the University of Miami.

Our ASLS course replaces two days of equivalent classroom-based learning, the course provides robust, comprehensive, educationally endorsed knowledge on emergency stroke care management in a cost-effective way. The cost is £33.33 per licence.

Solution’s main goal is to assist our customers in ensuring that staff trained at all levels remain confident and competent. We provide free updates to our learners if there are ever any changes to practice and only ever deliver the training with a person with huge experience in the ambulance sector with appropriate teaching/training qualifications.

Training & Presentation Skills Training

Training & Presentation Skills Training

Are your trainers equipped to deliver training to your staff that is effective, retained, and utilised?

The answer to this is that many organisations assume this to be a fact, but in essence, if your trainer isn’t equipped with the knowledge of how to capture their learner’s attention and motivation but adopting the correct communication, presentation, intonation, and interactive training skills then it is proven that leaners do not retain the training received on a long-term basis.

Solutions have designed our Training Skills course to educate your trainers on how to deliver effective training.

We teach them the skills which maximise the receptiveness of their training delivery which in turn creates motivation, and enhanced retention of the knowledge and skills imparted onto their leaners.
