Physiotherapists are no strangers to seeing humans in distress. You already work to help your patients keep up with standards of function, movement, strength and overall good health. Physiotherapists deal with patient’s pain, and pain is very stressful. It can be too much, sometimes, for those who already have cardiac issues. First Edition provides first aid training for physiotherapy clinics in Calgary so you and your staff can be ready for when distress turns to emergency on the job.

Basic Life Support special consideration
It is very likely that a physiotherapist will encounter a life-threatening emergency at some point in his or her career. Getting Basic Life Support first aid training will help you save lives.
AED’s for Physiotherapy Clinics
CPR and emergency first aid are a part of the emergency response plan your office and team need, but you also need to have an AED on hand.
An Automatic External Defibrillator (AED), must always be close by and functioning properly. It can take paramedics about 10 minutes to get to your office, and each minute that ticks by without intervention reduces the patient’s chance of survival. An AED could be all that stands between their life and death.
