What is a Cardiac First Responder?

A cardiac first responder is a person trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and in the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) who can respond to someone who has suddenly collapsed.

About this course:

The cardiac first responder course can play a critical role in keeping a person alive until the commencement of expert medical care.  A cardiac first responder may be part of the emergency medical services, a healthcare practitioner or a member of the public who has undertaken a Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council (PHECC) recognised course within the last 2 years.  CFR Community level is the pre or co-requisite for entry to PHECC's Emergency Care (Special Circumstances) courses
