CPR & AED / Defibrillator Training: Level 2: 1 Day

Heart and circulatory disease claims around 200,000 lives each year. Many could have been saved if a defibrillator was made available.

According to The London Ambulance Service the proportion of people surviving a cardiac arrest that happens outside of hospital has reached its highest level of 10.8 per cent – twice the rate it was a decade ago. Figures published today by London Ambulance Service also show that when a Public Access Defibrillator (PAD) was used by a bystander and at least one shock was delivered to patients, the survival rate was more than five times higher (57.1 per cent). This very practical course will enable your learners to use the AED competently and with confidence.

Not only does this course deal with the use of an AED but it also includes vital training in resuscitation and choking procedures.
