The DoH purchased 3000 AED's at the end of the last financial year with the
intention of placing them in areas where the public congregated. They have
taken until now to sort out the training of the operators. They have
invited tenders for a four hour course that will teach BLS & AED operation
to the these people. They expect the training organisation to indemnify the
DoH from the consequences of inadequate training. The European Resus
Council Guidelines require an eight hour course for this level of teaching.
The DoH has rejected his bid because he quoted for an eight hour course and
for a four hour AED course for holders of a BLS qualification.
Now do you see where I am coming from?
