Devon Air Ambulance provides time-critical care thanks to your generous support. However, you can also help our patients even before we arrive at a medical or trauma incident.
Every year, we attend to hundreds of patients, many of whom experience cardiac incidents, and, every day, defibrillators empower members of the public to become lifesavers in unexpected situations. We want to help you feel more confident using the defibrillators available in your local community by offering training sessions led by our team. Join us to boost your skills and be prepared to make a difference when it matters most.

Cardiac arrests account for over a third of the incidents we attend. But our local research reveals that two thirds of people surveyed do not feel confident using a defibrillator should they need to. Your early intervention can really help to make a difference.
We are rolling out a series of CPR and defibrillator training events to help boost confidence in communities so that more people can learn the skills we hope they will never need.
We respond thanks to your support. Saving lives. Together.
