As a member of St John Ambulance I keep in my car a full medical kit and an AED but hope I will never have to use the AED
All Co-op stores in our area have purchased AED's which are kept in a locked cabinet outside the stores. If needed the code to open the cabinet will be given to you when you phone for an ambulance
At the moment I am training local groups, such as the WI, on how to use the AED . They are so easy to use and cannot cause the casualty any harm.
All my Cadets from the age of 10 are trained to use an AED and give CPR. We are also visiting schools to give first aid training to the pupils.
