At the start of a new year, it’s natural for us to think about what changes we can make to our health and well-being, and what we can learn to do better for ourselves. But there is one skill which we can master to save a life.
By learning CPR and how to use an AED, you can make a real difference. Here is how you can get ready to save a life.
Start with CPR training in the UK
With CPR training, you will be able to recognise a cardiac emergency and begin CPR without delay.
How to find CPR training in the UK near you:
- Local first aid training providers and training centres
- Workplace training arranged for teams and sites
- Community initiatives that run public sessions
Know your nearest public access AED before you ever need it
Knowing where a public access AED is stored means it can be found quickly.
In the UK, many AEDs are logged on The Circuit. When you call 999, call handlers can check the system and point you to the nearest registered device or understand your location.
You can also check local maps such as DefibFinder to understand what is nearby in the places you spend time, such as work, school runs, sports, or your high street.
If your organisation has an AED, registering it matters. It helps emergency services find it quickly, and The Circuit can prompt checks and pad expiry reminders.
Learn how to use an AED with confidence
Most of the time, people hesitate because they are unsure how to use an AED in an emergency. Training removes that uncertainty by making the steps simple and easy to follow.
For workplaces and public settings, choosing an AED that is straightforward, visible, and supported by the right signage and storage can make response quicker and calmer. WEL Medical supplies AEDs and supporting equipment for organisations and communities to prepare for CPR training in the UK.

If you are considering models for public access, include the iPAD AED with the DefibSafe 2 in your shortlist and focus on what matters day-to-day: readiness checks, ease of use, and suitability for where it will live. WEL Medical also shares practical guidance on what to look for when selecting an AED and providing basic life support.
Practise CPR training in the UK with CPR manikins that build real confidence
CPR is a physical skill. The more realistic the practice, the more confident people feel when it counts. Brayden CPR manikins are built to make learning clear. The visual feedback helps learners see the effect of their compressions and correct their technique in the moment, which is exactly how confidence is earned. Using a training tool like the Brayden AED Trainer can help you learn how to perform CPR effectively with real-time feedback.
If you deliver training at a higher level, or you want to run more advanced scenarios for clinical teams and responders, the new Brayden ALS full-body manikin takes training further. It is designed for advanced resuscitation practice, including airway management, and it includes the same real-time feedback approach that helps teams improve quickly.
