The use of an AED – also known as defibrillation - is an important addition to CPR. Evidence shows that using an AED can greatly improve the survival chances of a patient in cardiac arrest. However, an AED is only useful if there’s a trained person available to use it.

This instructional course is designed for any group that has, or may have, access to an AED.
It will ensure you have the confidence to use defibrillators to save lives.
