Further Information
This course takes place over four or more hours and is designed to teach the participants how to provide basic life support and use an Automated External Defibrillator which can be used to shock a malfunctioning heart back into a normal rhythm.
Fast, accessible defibrillation is a key component of treating severely ill casualties and is now possible in a wide number of venues before the ambulance arrives due to the development of automated machines which are affordable, safe and can be used with minimal training.
The training includes CPR, a vital component of life saving first aid and will ensure the participant can competently maintain and use an AED and provides an understanding of how these machines work and why the heart sometimes requires electrical input.
This course can be taught at your site and will be relevant to your AED unit.
This training can be ‘bolted on’ to other courses
