Defibrillator AED Workshop
Confidence to act in the first critical minutes.
​
When someone goes into cardiac arrest, using a defibrillator (AED) within the first few minutes can dramatically improve their chance of survival. This practical, non-accredited workshop gives participants the confidence and hands-on skills to recognise cardiac arrest and use an AED safely and effectively alongside CPR.
