Heart and circulatory disease claims around 200,000 lives each year. Many lives could have been saved if a defibrillator had been made available.
Automated External Defibrillators (AED’s) are now becoming more common throughout a range of public and workplaces. A casualty’s survival rate will dramatically increase if an AED is available and if you have appropriately qualified personnel to use it. This efficient course will enable your learners to use the AED competently and confidently.
Not only does this course deal with the use of an AED but it also includes vital training in resuscitation and choking procedures.
A recent UK Government report states …
It is estimated that around 60,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur each year in the UK. Overall survival rates vary across England but range between 2% and 12%. However, survival rates as high as 75% have been reported where CPR and defibrillation are delivered promptly. This is why the statutory guidance on supporting pupils at school with medical conditions advises schools to consider purchasing an AED as part of their first-aid equipment.”
This qualification lasts for 3 years. To renew their qualification after 3 years, delegates will need to retake the full course. However, it is recommended that, during the 3-year period, representatives attend annual refresher courses.
The course Instructor is responsible for determining whether delegates pass or fail based on practical and verbal assessment throughout the course, i.e. by observation and verbal questioning, as well as the completion of a multiple-choice question paper at the end of the course. The instructor will only award a pass if they believe that delegates have displayed the requisite understanding and competencies at the end of each session throughout the course and successfully completed the question paper.
