AED (defibrillator) Training

Cardiac Arrest is the biggest killer in this country. Each year over 150,000 people die as a result. Many could have been saved if a defibrillator had been available.

 

Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are now becoming more common throughout a range of workplaces. A casualty's survival rate will dramatically increase if an AED is available and if you have appropriately qualified personnel to use it.
