Did you know that following a cardiac arrest, every minute without   CPR and defibrillation reduces a casualty’s chance of survival by  10%? Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the UK’s biggest killers, and  yet statistics show that most of the British public are unaware of    the life-saving difference they can make by performing CPR and    
defibrillation. The QA Level 2 Award in Basic Life Support and Safe  Use of an Automated External Defibrillator (RQF) qualification has   been designed to provide candidates with the skills needed to  administer safe, prompt and effective basic life support and use an  AED safely in emergency situations. With an estimated 60,000 out   of  hospital cardiac arrests occurring every year in the UK alone, make sure you are prepared!
