Attain the knowledge to identify and use life-saving equipment in an emergency by taking this Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Course. In the UK, AEDs are placed strategically across the country in public areas and medical facilities. They have the potential to identify and treat a person suffering from heart irregularities, and you can discover how to safely utilise them with this training.
On completion of this course, you will have been shown the fundamental components of an AED, and the importance of its presence at the scene of an accident or the vicinity of an unconscious individual. You will be taught the operational requirements, model types, and precautions in its use. Alongside this information, you will learn about the “chain of survival” and the medical protocol that should be observed.
Please note that the Automated External Defibrillator (AED) course provides invaluable theoretical knowledge for performing medical procedures with this equipment on a casualty. However, this should not be considered to be a qualification for practising professional healthcare or permission to make inappropriate or unsolicited use of an AED. Always check your actions with authorities and emergency services.
