Lifesaving initiatives are always changing and it is important that your staff stays up to date. Your doctor’s office carries a much higher incident rate of situations spiraling into health emergencies. The coughing spree that turns into a cough-variant asthma attack, the gentleman in the waiting room that came in for chest pain and suddenly slumps to the floor, the child whose fever spikes and he goes listless – these are just some of the scenarios you have probably encountered in your practice.
Medical receptionist and medical assistant first aid training are vitally important to give your front-of-house and support staff the skills they need to handle sudden medical emergencies. While you are busy with patients or dealing with urgent issues, the first aid your team provides between you arriving to take over and/or the arrival of an ambulance can be the difference between life and death.

AED’s for Doctor’s Offices
You trained as a medical professional because you want to save lives, and First Edition understands that. We, too, are in the business of saving lives through efficient first aid training and supplying top-of-the-line AED’s to offices and commercial spaces. To save as many lives as possible, your support staff need to certify and renew their first aid training yearly– and it goes without saying that everyone in your office should be within reach of an AED.
The facts speak for themselves – sudden cardiac arrest occurs every 12 minutes in Canada. You know that fast intervention increases the chances of survival. Every minute that ticks by between the incident and the deployment of an AED hurts the patient’s chances of survival by 7-10 per cent.
Having an AED in your office, and first aid and AED training for your staff creates a much happier outcome for anyone that has a cardiac arrest in your waiting room.
