This 1/2 day course is designed to allow first aiders to extend the circle of care or chain of survival beyond the traditional ABCs of ‘A’ airway, ‘B’ breathing and ‘C’ circulation. Now we have ‘D’ for defibrillation.

Thanks to the incredible software available today our AEDs only provide a shock if one is needed and when that shock is delivered the power of the shock is regulated to each patients ability to conduct electricity.

By having an AED available on your premises you are increasing the chances of survival for a victim of SCA beyond measure.

Over 270,000 people in the UK suffer from a heart attack every year.

In reality most victims of SCA are going to die. Defibrillation is the only effective treatment for SCA and needs to be provided in the first few minutes to be effective. Clinical studies have shown that victims of SCA who are defibrillated immediately have over 90% chance of survival.

It’s not acceptable to wait for an ambulance to arrive and defibrillate… by then it is too late. For each minute that passes, a victim’s chance of survival drops between 7-10 per cent.

AEDs save lives; at Able Health and Safety we train you to give the greatest gift of all…life.

During the course our students will learn about:

• Heart conditions
• Resuscitation & CPR
• Recovery Position
• Resusitation Guidelines
• Safe use of an AED
• Operating an AED

On successful completion of the course our students will receive a certificate of competence valid for 6 months, which complies with current resuscitation guidelines.

AEDs save lives…today.

You cant put a price on a life but we can put a price on an AED.
