Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation & Automated External Defibrillation (QA Level 2)

Every year, around 60,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the UK — and every minute without intervention can drastically reduce the chance of survival.

The Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) & Automated External Defibrillation (AED) course from Morson Nexus equips learners with the confidence, practical skill and calm precision to act effectively when seconds matter most.

This QA Level 2 accredited qualification ensures participants can perform safe, prompt and efficient CPR and use an AED correctly to give a casualty the best possible chance of survival.
