Every minute it takes to reach a cardiac arrest victim with a defibrillator reduces their chances of survival by 10%. In ten minutes the chances of restarting the heart go from 85% to almost none.
Automated External Defibrillation (AED) is no longer just for doctors and paramedics. Advances in technology now make it possible for rescuers with very limited training to save lives by providing defibrillation following sudden cardiac arrest.
The defibrillation equipment is now available for every workplace at an affordable cost. First on Scene Training can provide a fantastic all inclusive package that includes rental, maintenace and staff training for a low monthly fixed cost. Please ask for full details.
With training direct from Paramedics who have unrivalled experience in advanced cardiac life support, your staff can confidently learn the vital technique of defibrillation.
At First on Scene Training we operate a comprehensive "AED" training scheme. The scheme follows the latest Resuscitation Council (UK) recommendations and is monitored by our Medical Director, who is a Consultant in Accident & Emergency Medicine.
The certificate is valid for 12 months. Delegates should attend a half day refresher course and re-assessment before the certificate expires (it is suggested that this is done after 6-9 months in the first instance).
