Doctor-led teaching
Life-saving training
One-hour sessions that fit around your working day and give your staff the practical skills — and confidence — to save lives.
Hands-on CPR
Proper depth, proper rhythm — everyone practises on training manikins until it feels natural.
Confident AED use
Every participant handles a training defibrillator, so the real thing never feels unfamiliar.
Choking response
Recognise it fast and respond effectively — one of the most common workplace emergencies.
Real medical cases
Taught through real scenarios drawn from frontline and event medicine.
Why choose Desk to Defib?
Fewer than 1 in 10 people survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the UK. Bystander CPR and early defibrillation can more than double that — yet most employees have never touched a defibrillator. We exist to change that, one workplace at a time.
- Every session delivered by a doctor
- On-site at your office — anywhere in the UK
- Focused on practical skills and confidence, not certificates
- Real AED and manikin practice for every participant
- Groups capped at 12, so everyone gets proper hands-on time

No travel, no fuss. We handle the kit and the teaching, so your team can focus on learning.

Beyond the workplace
A skill they take home for life
There's a wider social-impact benefit too: you're giving employees a potentially life-saving skill that they take with them for life — into their homes, families and communities.
A genuine wellbeing benefit your people remember — and a tangible social-impact story for your ESG and CSR reporting.
