A significant number of patients collapse at home in the presence of the doctor, while a further proportion actually suffer a cardiopulmonary arrest at the doctor or dental surgery or indeed in a public place. All health care workers and first responders in the community who may encounter a cardiopulmonary arrest should be trained in defibrillation and safe resuscitation techniques as appropriate. The Resuscitation Council (UK) recommends "It is unacceptable for patients who sustain a cardiopulmonary arrest to await the arrival of the ambulance service before basic resuscitation is performed and a defibrillator is available".

Advances in defibrillator technology have produced a generation of machines called automated external defibrillators (AEDs) that are relatively inexpensive, easy to use and which require minimal maintenance.

Following Resuscitation Council (UK) guidelines Survival-linX training courses are tailored to reflect your needs. Topics covered include:

1. Review of basic life support (BLS) & airway management
2. Introduction to the AED
3. Demonstration of the use of an AED
4. Bringing it together - BLS & AED
5. Resuscitation Scenarios

This is a short, practical-based course with a large emphasis on 'hands-on' candidate participation. Content is covered by a lecture, demonstrations, skill stations again the focus on realistic scenario-based education giving you the confidence and basic skills required to offer the casualty the very best chance of survival.

A handout covering the current Resuscitation Council (UK) AED guidelines is also available to all candidates. A certificate will be issued following successful assessment.
