This applies to both First aid at Work and Paediatric First Aid. With the HSE strongly recommending that first aiders undertake annual refresher training and the EYFS stating that Annual Refreshers should be considered by employers for paediatric first aiders. This will help qualified first-aiders maintain their basic skills and keep up-to-date with any changes to first-aid procedures. "Where an employer provides first-aiders in the workplace, they should ensure they have undertaken suitable training, have an appropriate first-aid qualification and remain competent to perform their role." This is an important statement as regards Annual Refresher. If your first aiders are not completing their annual refresher how can you prove that they have maintained competence?

An AED (automated external defibrillator) is a device that analyses the heart rhythm and advises the rescuer of the need for defibrillation, and delivers a shock if needed.

Since AEDs are produced by a number of manufacturers, there are slight differences to operating each AED, but all are very intuitive. In order to use an AED, begin by either opening the lid or pushing the "ON" button. From there, it's as simple as following the AED's voice and text prompts which include directions such as "Attach electrodes to patient's bare chest" and "Begin CPR." The AED itself will determine whether a shock is necessary, and if it is, will prompt the rescuer to push the shock button, or give a clear warning before shocking the victim. Since these devices guide a person through the entire rescue process, they can be used by lay people that haven't been trained in CPR/AED usage, however, it is highly recommended that every facility have trained personnel.
