What is an E-book?
Our E-books provide you or your learners with the exact same content as our printed books but are viewed online via a web browser. They can be viewed on any device from PC, Laptop, Tablet or Mobile.
There are many advantages to E-Books over a printed manual for both the Trainer and the Learner.
One of the biggest advantage is that the Learner can begin reading in a matter of minutes instead of waiting for a book to to delivered. They can also use the handy built in search function to find any reference within the book.
For the Trainer, we have added the ability to track whether your learners have accessed their E-Book and how long they have spent reading their book.
Why Provide an E-book Instead of a Traditional Manual?
- No delivery time or cost - Your learner can start reading from the moment you send them access to the book.
- Track your learners reading time - You will know if your learner has started reading their e-book and for how long.
- Integrated text searching - Find a reference in any of the books with the inbuilt search facility.
- Always updated - You or your learner will always have access to the latest editions as and when they are updated.
- Available whenever you need it - Books can be viewed on any device with a browser and internet connection; Mobile, Tablet or PC.
- Better for the environment - No need for paper.
Digital Update Notice:
Any previously issued digital (e-book) versions of this manual have been automatically updated to the latest edition compliant with the Resuscitation Council (UK) Guidelines 2025, so your learners will always have access to the most current guidance.
The addendum clearly explains the guideline changes and includes a short summary video, along with additional videos demonstrating the updated protocols.
