GTG Training - Saving lives in the workplace

Leading training provider GTG Training has launched a new life saving course at its Glasgow and Edinburgh centres. The Automated External Defibrillator (AED) course is available now and is already proving tremendously popular with organisations wanting to be prepared in the event of a life or death emergency in the workplace.

This one day, instructor led course equips individuals with the skills and knowledge that potentially could save lives. Speaking of the AED course, David Scott, GTG chief executive, stated, ìCardiac arrest is one of the main leading causes of death in Europe. Defibrillation is the only effective treatment for cardiac arrest and a heart attack with the time lapse between collapse and delivery of the first shock being the single most important determinant of survival. Waiting on an ambulance sometimes is simply not an option. The Automated External Defibrillation course enables delegates to deal with cardiac arrest or a heart attack until medical help is available.î

The Automated External Defibrillation course informs delegates on:

Communication and delegation in an emergency
Resuscitation skills
Heart attack – CPR
Cardiac arrest
Safety procedures on an AED

From doctor and dentist surgeries to venues where large crowds gather like sports stadiums, shopping malls, airports and concert arenas, it is highly recommended that an Automated External Defibrillator is made readily available and that AED trained staff are on hand to manage it efficiently and effectively.

This course can take place at either centre or for convenience in the clientís place of work. This life saving course is available to book now and anyone interested should contact GTG Training on 0844 826 8870 (Glasgow) or 0844 826 8873 (Edinburgh).
