Automatic External Defibrillators Refresher
Introduction
Automatic External Defibrillators (AED's) are becoming more common throughout workplaces not just with the emergency services. In an emergency, a first aider can supply basic life support to a casualty but with the addition of correct use of an AED, the chances of survival for the casualty are significantly increased. This training will ensure that your staff have the knowledge and confidence to use an AED in an emergency.
The course combines tutorials & demonstrations with student centred methods such as group work, case studies and question & answer sessions. It will also provide extensive practice with a training Defibrillator and mannequin.
