CPR & AED Refresher
This short refresher reminds you how to recognise a cardiac arrest, call for help, give effective adult CPR and use an automated external defibrillator (AED). It is an awareness and refresher course only: it does not provide a first aid qualification, and CPR and AED skills need practical, hands-on training assessed by a qualified trainer.
