Question: The information provided on your site regarding CPR training for medical receptionists stipulates that it is needed every three years. However, CPR certifications are only valid for 12 months. Is there not a shortfall in the training process or possible insurance complications?
Answer: Yes, there appears to be a discrepancy between the RACGP Accreditation Standards (link) and the expiration period of CPR certifications. While the RACGP guidelines suggest CPR training every three years, most CPR certificates are only valid for 12 months. General practices should review their policies to ensure compliance and seek legal or insurance advice if concerned.
