As we are all aware, Metro Manila is one of the busiest cities in the country. Furthermore, accidents happen when we least expect it - we may encounter one on our way to work, while walking, while taking the public transport, or even on our way home.The Search and Rescue Unit of the Headquarters and Headquarters Service Support Group (HHSSG), 1st Technical and Administrative Service Brigade, NCR conducted a Basic Life Support (BLS) refresher course last 14 February 2015 upon the approval of our Commanding Officer COL ERIC C GARCHITORENA MC (GSC) and CPT Garry S Sibal CHS, Chief of Staff.
The BLS refresher course was aimed at further enhancing the skills
of SARU members, as well as equipping officers and other enlisted personnels of the unit to properly respond to emergency situations.
The course, divided into lecture and demonstration, was headed by RC Ma Rachelle Yu, a registered nurse and a certified BLS-instructor. She properly explained the details and made sure that everyone will be at par. Meanwhile, other nurse-RCs supervised the individual demonstration.

The Search and Rescue Unit is looking forward to more refresher courses being made available to interested participants so as to increase their awareness about life-saving measures.
The refresher course was made possible through the efforts of RC Cris Yumul and the generosity of the Intelligent Life Saving Professional Development (ILS Training Center). They allowed the unit to borrow their dummies and other euipment for free.
