All schemes will be asked to sign an agreement taking responsibility for their own fund raising and donations to CHT, and then the operation and maintenance of the cPAD equipment. All current or historical claims for VAT will be met by the local community. VAT may be applicable if your organisation is not an eligible body as defined by HMRC. 999/112 (ambulance) must always be called prior to using a cPAD equipment. All schemes must be registered with the local ambulance service (CHT will also undertake this or you can do via this site, but this does not remove responsibility for you to notify the local ambulance service of your AED location). Please do not send any monies to CHT until you have registered your scheme with us, and have agreement from the local ambulance service for the establishment of a cPAD scheme. Any training organisation will only be responsible for the initial awareness training and not for the functioning or maintenance of the AED. All support for the cPAD will be undertaken by the village committee responsible and via standard manufacturers warranties. All copyrights and trademarks are recognised. This website, and any downloaded information, is for information only on how to go about obtaining and installing a cPAD, and other relevant information. CHTs only aim is to support the installation of a cPAD scheme in the most cost effective way possible adhering to Best Practice, and help save lives in your community. CHT are not responsible for your fund raising, nor your cPAD operations, but may assist in both. Please make sure you have read and understood this disclaimer - It will be assumed that you have read prior to CHT receiving any request. Attendance Certificates can be made available by signing in at your local session. To book either an Awareness Session or Full First Aid Session please contact us.Īll training records are done via the WebNos™ Governance system. By June 2018 over 250,000 have attended these sessions. Full first aid training sessions are chargeable and can be arranged through CHT. Additional sessions may incur a small charge. The first awareness session for a community is normally built into your defibrillator project when the community uses the CHT full cPAD programme. It is not a formal classroom course but designed to answer questions, give basic instruction, be interactive and create confidence. The CHT community awareness ‘CARS’ programme is unique and has been recognised as being ideal for a community to create awareness of the issues surrounding treating a patient in the community. Annual retraining is advised on formally trained people. Training in correct CPR technique is also invaluable and essential.ĬHT works with the ambulance service to provide community awareness sessions or can offer an inclusive full training programme if required through its training partners. However, training is desirable, particularly to create confidence in the community, learn CPR, and to understand the processes, as well as managing best practice, and reducing the potential for liability. You cannot make a mistake when using an AED – just follow the instructions being given. The modern AED equipment is also designed to talk to you or show you, and tell you what to do. The equipment is very easy to be used, and when you have called 999, the ambulance service operator will normally stay on the telephone to assist you. However, this does not mean that training is not required. The UK Resuscitation Council guidelines indicate that community defibrillators (AEDs) should be able to be used by members of the public with or without any formal training. There is no legal requirement to have defibrillator training in the UK, but it does form part of the First Aid at Work requirements from 2017. The equipment is safe and easy to use, you can do it!
