Why is AED important?
Sudden cardiac arrest is a critical condition where the heart stops beating and every minute without intervention reduces the chance of survival by 7-10%. An AED is a device designed to be used by lay people - it gives clear voice instructions and can analyse the heart rhythm and decide whether an electrical shock is needed to restore a normal heart rhythm.

How to use the AED?

  1. Call the emergency services (155).
  2. Turn on the AED and follow the voice instructions.
  3. Use the AED in accordance with the instructions and continue cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) until professional help arrives.

Self-defence

Prevention of dangerous situations is a priority at the University, however, there may be situations where it is useful to know the elements of self-defence, which can provide the confidence and skills necessary to respond appropriately in unexpected crisis situations.
Individual training can be obtained from the following police sources, which are available to the general public:
