Introduction to Automated External Defibrillation (AED)
When somebody suffers a heart attack their best chance of survival is early defibrillation. This is the process of giving an electrical shock to the heart so that it can start pumping blood around the body again.
This course is designed to give students the confidence and ability to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to give the casualty a higher chance of survival after a heart attack.

First Aid
The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to enable first aid to be given to employees if they are injured or become ill at work. These Regulations apply to all workplaces including those with five or fewer employees and to the self-employed.
Our First Aid courses, developed and taught in accordance with both the UK and European Resuscitation guidelines, are designed to help employers meet their obligations as required by those regulations.
