Thanks for letting us know.

I'd had a similar assumption about AEDs being difficult to use until I went on a first aid course for the first time in a decade or so. They are amazing - it will quite literally talk you through what you need to do, check that the pads are positioned correctly and tell you when to stand clear if a shock is required. They can also help prompt you to do CPR giving you the rhythm to use and letting you know whether your pressure is effective.

At our first aid course, they asked someone who had never used one before to try it on the dummy without any instruction from the trainer. We were all surprised at how easy they were to use.
