CPR and AED training is fast becoming a necessity Mdphysiotherapy Training not only offer dedicated CPR and AED training courses but also this new 4 hour Basic Life Support and Safe use of an AED course.
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.”
