Community Defibrillator Training
More and more defibrillators are being placed in the community, which is a fantastic thing!
Did you know that for every minute delay the chance of survival for a patient in cardiac arrest drops by around 10%?
Would you know how to use a defibrillator without delay?
This 1 hour course is designed to be run in local communities where defibrillators are placed to give local people the confidence in using these life saving devices and upskilling them with the latest CPR guidance.
Join onto a course running locally to you or contact me to get a course running in your local community!
