AED training and basic life support (CPR) will be provided to the Oaklands Park Run Community and all others who are keen to learn these vital life saving skills are welcome to attend

Clare Tate with Tori Cooper and Rob Haywood (Advanced Life Support Trainers) will be attending to ensure these essential skills are shared and taught to all.

ALL WELCOME.

Oakland's Café will be open.

An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in a patient, and is able to treat them through de-fibrillation, the application of electrical therapy which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to re-establish an effective rhythm.

With simple audio and visual commands, AEDs are designed to be simple to use for the layperson, and the use of AEDs is taught in many first aid, certified first responder, and basic life support (BLS) level cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) classes.
