Automated External Defrillation
Half day - £250 per group up to 8
Automated External Defibrillation (AED) is the only effective therapy for cardiac arrest. The current survival rate of a cardiac arrest in the UK is 8.6%, way lower than Norway (25%) and Holland (21%). The scientific evidence states early defibrillation is the single most important step to from collapse to delivery of the first shock.
We offer training based on the necessary theory, backed up with practical sessions. The course is run over half a day, and is informative and fun, thus allowing delegates to gain confidence in this essential skill.
Training conforms to current Resuscitation Council (UK) guidelines.
