Why bother?

Every year there are over 13,000 deaths in Ireland due to circulatory problems most of which are from coronary heart disease. Approximately 50% progress to cardiac arrest within 2 hours. For many victims it is what happens in the first few minutes following a heart attack that will decide their fate. Every two minutes someone, somewhere, has a heart attack. Part of our course includes training in the use of a Automated External Defibrillator.

Why train with the St. John Ambulance?

You will be taught by an experienced trainer. Our trainers are also experienced First Aiders who will show you how the skills you learn can be applied in a real situation.

Our courses teach the most up-to-date protocols, as approved by National and European bodies.

If you take a St. John Ambulance course, you will know that you are ready to deal with a situation to the best of your ability. You will be in the company of thousands of people trained by St. John Ambulance, and have the backing of an organisation at the heart of Emergency First Response.
