Automated External Defibrillator Training in Ireland

We provide nationwide specialist Defibrillator training in Ireland.

Automated External Defibrillator is a computerised device, which has the capability to:

Analyse the heart rhythm of a person in cardiac arrest.
Recognise a shockable rhythm.
Advise the operator whether the rhythm should be shocked.
Save many lives, if used within minutes of an arrest.

Airports
Shopping Complexes
Sports Grounds
Theatres
