Community Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) for public use are becoming common place, particularly in more rural areas where it’s often impossible for the Ambulance Service to meet their 8 minute target attendance time for life threatening emergencies. Sadly however, most people are not confident enough to consider using an AED, although it’s actually very easy.

In a Cardiac Arrest situation (the heart has stopped) A casualty’s survival chances dramatically increase by up to 80% if they receive immediate, effective CPR, combined with the use of an AED without delay. (Ensure Ambulance on route) Without immediate effective CPR and the use of an AED the current out of hospital survival rate for a cardiac arrest is a dismal 8%
defibrillation

This popular, 1.5 hour awareness course is designed to give members of the public, School Staff, Parents, young people and business employees confidence to perform effective CPR and access and use an AED safely and with confidence. It’s suitable for anyone aged 8 years and over. 


During a cardiac arrest, CPR is extremely important to keep the brain oxygenated. If a casualty does NOT receive effective CPR within around 4 minutes of their heart stopping they are, at best, likely to suffer irreversible brain damage. That’s why this course covers effective CPR too.

The course is normally organised by communities for communities or businesses for their employees, in a venue of your choice across Oxfordshire. This could be the local School, Village Hall, Church Room, your business premises etc or for smaller groups, the comfort of your own home. For larger groups we come equipped with a projector. In your home the presentation in run through your TV with an HDMI lead we bring.


The flat rate fee is £150 + VAT for up to 20 learners .
