CPR Training Workshop and Examination have been held for over ten years. As the CPR certificate is valid for only two years, many doctors will have their certificates expired. It is the intention of the Board to promote skill and competency of CPR. Those doctors, who wish to refresh this life-saving skill and renew their CPR certificates, can now join the CPR workshop and examination at a 75% reduction of the course fee.
