Life Savers: Essential CPR & Defibrillator Training – 2 hour session

There are over 60,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) in the UK each year.

• Research shows that survival rates are significantly improved when CPR and defibrillation are administered within 3–5 minutes of collapse.
• For every minute without treatment, the chance of survival drops by 10%

This concise, hands-on 2-hour session provides participants with critical awareness and basic practical skills in CPR and defibrillator use.

The course focuses on recognising a cardiac arrest, understanding the immediate steps to take, and confidently using a defibrillator until professional medical help arrives. Equipping you with these life-saving skills can significantly improve outcomes in an emergency.

Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Recognise the signs of a cardiac arrest.

• Understand the importance of immediate action in a cardiac emergency.

• Perform basic adult CPR (chest compressions).

• Identify when and how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
